Summary Introduction
To determine:
The definition for structural isomers.
Introduction:
Isomers are the molecules that are having same chemical formula but they are arranged in a different manner in space. There are two types of isomers; Constitutional isomers and Stereoisomers. Constitutional isomers are also known as structural isomers.
