State

Isomers are compounds sharing the same molecular formula but differing in how their atoms are arranged, giving them different properties.

Show

Acetic acid and methyl formate share the formula C2H4O2, yet one is vinegar's sour acid and the other a distinct industrial solvent.

Watch for

An identical formula never guarantees identical behavior — isomers can differ as sharply as two unrelated substances.
