Study Notes
Structural Isomerism
- Structural isomerism is a phenomenon exhibited by compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in their molecular structure.
- This phenomenon is not limited to hydrocarbons, but can be observed in all organic compounds and their derivatives.
- The cause of structural isomerism is the similarity in the arrangement of atoms within the molecule.
- There are multiple ways in which structural isomerism can be exhibited, with varying arrangements of atoms leading to different molecular structures.
- Organic compounds, including their derivatives, can exhibit structural isomerism due to the flexibility in the arrangement of atoms within the molecule.
