Isomers

Question 1

Organic compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ structurally

Answer 1

Isomers

Question 2

List down the six types of structural isomerism

Answer 2

• Chain Isomerism
• Position Isomerism
• Functional Group Isomerism
• Tautomerism
• Metamerism
• Ring-chain isomerism

Question 3

Also known as constitutional isomer

Answer 3

Structural Isomer

Question 4

Due to the possibility of branching in carbon chains, these isomers exist

Answer 4

Chain isomerism

Question 5

Basic carbon skeleton remains unchanged

Answer 5

Position isomerism

Question 6

Different functional groups

Answer 6

Functional group isomerism

Question 7

Special type of isomerism; differ only the position of the protons and electrons within the molecule, while the compound carbon skeleton remains unchanged

Answer 7

Tautomerism

Question 8

Same molecular formula but differ due to the number of carbon atoms or alkyl groups on either side of the functional group

Answer 8

Metamerism

Question 9

Same molecular formula but differ due to the number of carbon atoms or alkyl groups on either side if the functional group

Answer 9

Ring-chain isomerism
