In chemistry, isomers are molecules or polyatomic ions with identical molecular formula – that is, the same number of atoms of each element – but distinct arrangements of atoms in space. [1] Isomerism refers to the existence or possibility of isomers.

A skeletal isomer of a compound is a structural isomer that differs from it in the atoms and bonds that are considered to comprise the "skeleton" of the molecule. For organic compounds, such as alkanes, that usually means the carbon atoms and the bonds between them.
For octahedral complexes of formula MX 4 Y 2, two isomers also exist. (Here M is a metal atom, and X and Y are two different types of ligands.) In the cis isomer, the two Y ligands are adjacent to each other at 90°, as is true for the two chlorine atoms shown in green in cis-[Co(NH 3) 4 Cl 2] +, at left.
Isomers with the molecular formula C 5 H 10 with CAS numbers. C 5 H 10 is the molecular formula of 13 hydrocarbon isomers (represented by their CAS numbers on the chart). They can be divided into cycloalkanes and alkenes.
When the activation energy for the isomerization reaction is sufficiently small, both isomers will exist in a temperature-dependent equilibrium with each other. Many values of the standard free energy difference, Δ G ∘ {\displaystyle \Delta G^{\circ }} , have been calculated, with good agreement between observed and calculated data.
Octane is a hydrocarbon and an alkane with the chemical formula C 8 H 18, and the condensed structural formula CH 3 (CH 2) 6 CH 3. Octane has many structural isomers that differ by the location of branching in the carbon chain. One of these isomers, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (commonly called iso-octane), is used as one of the standard values in ...
Constitution formula for isomers of C 5 H 8 with CAS numbers. The molecular formula C 5 H 8 may refer to any of the following hydrocarbons: Pentynes: 1-Pentyne; 2-Pentyne; 3-Methyl-1-butyne or isopentyne, CAS 598-23-2; Pentadienes: 1,2-Pentadiene, two cis-trans isomers, CAS 591-95-7; 1,3 Pentadiene, CAS 504-60-9 (racemic mixture)
