    Study Notes

    Structural Isomers

    • Structural isomers are NOT a group of compounds with the same physical and chemical properties.
    • They can have vastly different physical and chemical properties.
    • One isomer may be liquid at room temperature, while another with the same formula is a gas.
    • Isomers may exhibit different biological activity.
