Explain isomerism, state any four characteristics of isomers. Draw the structure of possible isomers of butane, C4H10.

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.
