In this video we want to discuss Structural Isomerism in Organic Chemistry.

Structural isomers have the same molecular formula but different structural formula.

They are very different compounds with different names, physical and chemical properties.

We have 3 types of structural isomerism - chain, positional and functional group isomerism.

1. Chain Isomerism

Chain isomers differ in the way the carbon chain is branched.

Using C5H12 as an example, we can have a total of 3 chain isomers:

2. Positional Isomerism

Positional isomers have the same functional group but attached to a different carbon.

Using chloropropane as an example, the positional isomers are:

3. Functional Group Isomerism

Functional Group isomers have the same molecular formula but have different functional groups.

For instance C6H12, the two functional group isomers are hexene and cyclohexane.

For the detailed step-by-step discussion on the 3 different types of Structural Isomerism, check out this video!
