Isomers are compounds with same molecular formula but different structures. Four characteristics of isomers:

  1. Isomers have different physical properties.
  2. Isomers may have same or different chemical properties.
  3. All isomers have the same number of atoms.
  4. Isomers have different structural arrangements.
