Concept explainers
Interpretation :
The meaning of isotope and isosceles are similar to that of isomer must be explained.
Concept Introduction :
Isotopes are nuclides with same
Isosceles are triangles with two sides same or equal.
Isomers are compounds with same molecular formula but different structures.
Answer to Problem 4E
Isotope and isosceles are similar to isomer as all of these have meaning of being equal or same.
Explanation of Solution
For isotopes the similarities are in atomic number or number of protons. In isosceles the similarities are in sides. In isomers the similarities are in molecular formula.
For all of these something is equal or same. Thus meaning of isotope and isosceles is similar to that of isomers.
Isotope, isosceles and isomer have similar meaning.
