Question Answer
What are structural isomers? Compounds with the same molecular formula, but a different structural formula
What are the 3 types of structural isomer? Chain isomers Positional isomers Functional group isomers
What are chain isomers? Molecules that have different arrangements of the carbon skeleton
Complete the sentence: Chain isomers have similar ___________ properties - but their ___________ properties will be different because of the change in ________ of the molecule. Chain isomers have similar CHEMICAL properties - but their PHYSICAL properties will be different because of the change in SHAPE of the molecule.
What are positional isomers? The skeleton and the functional group could be the same, only with the functional group attached to a different carbon atom.
TRUE OR FALSE: Position isomers have different physical properties, and the chemical properties might be different too TRUE
What are functional group isomers? Functional group isomers have the same atoms arranged into different functional groups
TRUE OR FALSE: Functional group isomers have similar chemical and physical properties FALSE Functional group isomers have VERY DIFFERENT chemical and physical properties
