What is isomerism?
Isomerism are phenomenon of two or more compound which as the same molecular formulae but different structures or arrangement
How many tyoes of isomers do we have ?
2
The types of isomers are ?
Structural and stereo isomerism
What is skeletal isomerism
This is the type of isomerism that are re arranged to create different structure
Positional isomerism
This isomer differs only in the position occupied by a particular atom in the carbon atom
What is functional isomerism ?
This isomerism involve compound with different functional groups
What is metamerism
Is an isomer brought about the unequal distribution of carbon atom on either side of a functional group
What is stereo isomer
These are organic compounds having the same molecular formulae and sequences of bonded atoms but differ in their spiritual arrangement of atom
