What is a structural isomer?

zale101 · Answer

Structural Isomers ( constitutional isomers) have the same chemical formula but different connectivity.

zale101 · Answer

These two molecules have the same chemical formula, but it has a different name so it is not the same molecule. However, it is bonded in different orders.

zale101 · Answer

Can you come up with a different one?

zale101 · Answer

I came up with the 1,2-dimethylcyclohexane

marmar10 · Answer

i still dont get what it means by 6 carbon ring :/

zale101 · Answer

A 6 carbon ring is hexane. They want you to draw structural isomers all consisting of a hexane ring.
