SUMMARY
An isomer is a molecule with the same molecular formula as another molecule but with a different arrangement of atoms. Constitutional isomers, also known as structural isomers, are a specific category of isomers that differ in the connectivity of their atoms. This discussion clarifies that all constitutional isomers are isomers, but not all isomers are constitutional isomers. For further details, refer to the provided Wikipedia link on isomers.
