'''Isomer'''

An '''[[Isomer]]''' is a type of [[molecule]] that shares the same [[chemical formula]] with another molecule, but has a different [[chemical structure]]. This phenomenon is known as [[isomerism]], and the molecules that exhibit this property are called isomers.

==Types of Isomers==

There are two main types of isomers: [[structural isomers]] and [[stereoisomers]].

===Structural Isomers===

[[Structural isomers]], also known as constitutional isomers, have the same molecular formula but different [[chemical bond]]ing patterns and atomic organization. Examples of structural isomers include chain isomerism, functional group isomerism, tautomeric isomerism, and ring-chain isomerism.

===Stereoisomers===

[[Stereoisomers]] are isomers that have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms, but differ in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space. This type of isomerism includes geometric isomerism and optical isomerism.

==Isomerism in Organic Chemistry==

In [[organic chemistry]], isomerism is a fundamental concept, as there are many sets of compounds known as [[functional group]]s that share the same molecular formula but have vastly different chemical properties due to their different structures.

==Isomerism in Inorganic Chemistry==

Isomerism also occurs in [[inorganic chemistry]]. For example, [[coordination compounds]] often exhibit isomerism because of the various ways the ligands can be arranged around the central atom.
