2.1 Structural Isomers Flashcards
1
Q
Isomers
A
compounds with the same molecular formula as another, but differ in arrangement or connectivity of their atoms
2
Q
Structural / constitutional isomers
A
share their molecular formula
differ in their structures (connectivity of atoms)
different chemical and physical properties
3
Q
Physical properties are…
A
… characteristics of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance
ex. melting point, boiling point, solubility, odour, colour, density
4
Q
Chemical properties describe…
A
… the ability of a substance to undergo a specific chemical change
5
