Isomeric

/ˌaɪsəˈmerɪk/

Definition 1 of 1

Pro Tip 1/3

The word 'isomeric' is frequently used in chemistry to discuss molecules with the same atoms but arranged differently.

Isomeric structures can drastically change the properties of a molecule.

Pro Tip 2/3

'Isomeric' refers to unique molecular shapes, so it's not interchangeable with terms for identical compounds.

Despite having the same formula, isomeric molecules are not the same compound.

Pro Tip 3/3

The term 'isomeric' doesn't convey a specific shape; the detailed structure must be examined separately.

Knowing a substance is isomeric tells you nothing about its appearance.
