Introduction to Organic Chemistry: Isomers

• Definition of Isomers: Compounds having the same molecular formula (MF) but different structures or arrangements.
• Structural Isomers: Same molecular formula but different connectivity/structures.
  • Chain Isomers: Difference in the carbon chain structure.
  • Positional Isomers: Difference in the position of the functional group or substituents.
  • Functional Isomers: Same molecular formula but different functional groups
