In the previous segment, we learnt about Structural isomers. In this segment, we will learn about an example of structural isomers.

What are Structural isomers?

Structural isomers have the same number of atoms for each element but these atoms are arranged differently to give different structures.

For example,

1 – Propanol, 2 – Propanol, and Ethyl methyl ether have the same molecular formula, that is,

?₃?₈?. Their structures are different as shown below:

1 – Propanol 2 – Propanol Ethyl methyl ether

They have different physical and chemical properties.
