Answer 6

please help?

Answer 7

i think its to do with isomers
structural isomers

Answer 8

when the molecules are isomers to each other

Answer 9

its really important in chemistry
you can have a compound having same composition
but the structure may be VERY different
and the structure determines how the substance will react

Answer 10

like see you can have a compound having same composition
both are \(C_4H_10O\)

but look at their structure

Answer 11

so both have SAME composition
but their structure is different which makes them 2 ENTIRELY different compounds which ABSOLUTELY different reactivity/ properties even
