Question

Isomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula but have different structures. For example, if you have a molecular formula for an alkane such as C6H14 you could imagine one structure with a simple straight chain and no branching, but several structures that include branching as shown in the image. (Figure 1) Isomers of octane Not isomers of octane 3-methyl heptane 3-ethyl-2-methylpentane 2,3,4-trimethyl pentane 3-ethylheptane You sorted 1 out of 4 items incorrectly. Keep in mind that isomers have the same molecular formula, but not the same structure.
