Draw a structural formula for all possible isomers having the following molecular formulas. C4H10, C2HBr3, C3H6O and C3H4. Please explain.
An isomer is a molecule with the same molecular formula as another molecule, but with a different chemical structure. That is, isomers contain the same number of atoms of each element, but have different arrangements of their atoms. Isomers do not necessarily share similar properties, unless they also have the same functional groups. There are two main forms of isomerism structural isomerism and stereoisomerism (or spatial isomerism).
