| Isomers are compounds with the same formula
but different properties. There are different types of isomers. |
| Structural
isomers have the same formula but a different order of bonding. |
| Two organic compounds illustrate structural
isomerism: both have the formula C2H2Cl2. |

| Stereoisomers have
the same molecular formula and the same bonding arrangement,
but different spatial arrangements of atoms |
| Two organic compounds illustrate steroisomerism:
both have the formula C2H2Cl2. |
