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.

Description
Explore the properties of structural isomers, which can have vastly different physical and chemical properties despite having the same molecular formula. Learn about their differences in physical states and biological activities.
