Compounds having same molecular formula but different structural formula are

Correct answer: C. isomer

  • A. polymers
  • B. monomer
  • C. isomer
  • D. allotropes

Explanation

Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. This means that they have the same number and types of atoms but arrange these atoms in different ways. Isomers can be further categorized into different types, such as structural isomers (differ in the arrangement of atoms), geometric isomers (differ in the spatial arrangement around double bonds), and stereoisomers (differ in the spatial arrangement of atoms but have the same connectivity).
