Isomers (HSC SSCE Chemistry): Flashcards

Same molecular formula, different structural arrangement

Structural formula differs, not molecular formula

Functional groups at different positions on same chain

Different carbon backbone: straight vs branched

$\text{C}_4\text{H}_8$

Between C1 and C2 (at end of chain)

Between C2 and C3 (middle of chain)

$\text{C}_3\text{H}_7\text{Cl}$

$\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}$

Chain: backbone differs; Positional: same backbone
