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.
