Chemical Compound Isomers: Structural Isomers Explanation
What type of isomers are shown in the graphic?
A. structural isomers
B. geometric isomers
C. halotropic isomers
Answer:
Structural isomers.
The two compounds shown indeed have the same molecular formula, C5 H11 NO2. One of the molecules has a group NH2 and a group COOH, the other molecule has a NOO group, that makes that the two isomers have a completely different structure, with the atoms arranged in a completely different order. This kind of isomers fits in the definition of structural isomers, so the answer is structural isomers.
