Isomers are molecular compounds that share the same molecular formula but differ in their structural formulas. There are many types of isomers, however, the two main forms are structural isomerism and stereoisomerism.
Example
Example 1: Structural Isomerism - C4H10 can represent both butane and 2-methylpropane.
