Unraveling Isomerism: Molecules With Identical Formula, Diverse Structures
Isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula but different structures. Butene, isobutene, isobutylene, and 2-methylpropene are four closely related compounds. They all have the same molecular formula, C4H8, but they have different structural arrangements. Butene is a straight-chain hydrocarbon, isobutene is a branched-chain hydrocarbon, and isobutylene and 2-methylpropene are isomers of each other. Non-Isomers: … Read more
