Question
What are isomers? Explain the types of isomerism.
✓
Answer
→ "Isomers are two or more compounds that have the same chemical formula but a different arrangement of atoms."
→ The different arrangement of atoms, they differ in one or more physical or chemical properties.
→ Two principal types of isomerism are known among coordination compounds.
→ Stereoisomers have the same chemical formula and chemical bonds but they have different spatial arrangement.
→ Structural isomers have different bonds.
