Structural isomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms. This results in different physical and chemical properties.
There are three structural isomers of C5H10: pentane, 2-methylbutane, and 2,2-dimethylpropane.
To determine structural isomers, you need to draw out the molecular formula and rearrange the atoms to form different structures. It is important to keep the same number of atoms and bonds in each structure.
No, structural isomers have different chemical properties due to the different arrangements of atoms. They may have different boiling points, melting points, and reactivity with other molecules.
Pentane, isopentane, and neopentane are examples of structural isomers of C5H10. Other examples include ethanol and dimethyl ether, as well as glucose and fructose.
