SUMMARY
Isomers can indeed exhibit different types of bonds within the same molecular formula. In the discussion, propyne (C3H4) is identified as having a triple bond, while propadiene (C3H4) contains two double bonds. Both compounds share the same molecular formula but differ in their structural configurations and bonding types, illustrating the concept of structural isomerism in organic chemistry.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of structural isomerism in organic chemistry
