    Isomers
In summary, isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements. C9H20 has 35 isomers, including constitutional isomers, stereoisomers, and cyclic isomers. Constitutional isomers have the same number and type of atoms but different connectivity, while stereoisomers have the same connectivity but differ in spatial arrangement. Cyclic isomers have rings in their structures, making their shape and properties different from other isomers.

1. What are isomers?

Isomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula, but different structural arrangements. This means that they have the same number and type of atoms, but the atoms are arranged differently.

2. How many isomers does C9H20 have?

C9H20 has a total of 35 isomers. This includes constitutional isomers, stereoisomers, and cyclic isomers.

3. What are constitutional isomers?

Constitutional isomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula, but different connectivity of atoms. This means that they have the same number and type of atoms, but the atoms are bonded together in different ways.

4. What are stereoisomers?

Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and connectivity of atoms, but differ in the arrangement of atoms in space. This can be due to the presence of double bonds or chiral centers.

5. How do cyclic isomers differ from other isomers?

Cyclic isomers are molecules that have rings in their structures. This means that the atoms are bonded together in a closed loop, instead of in a linear chain. They can have the same molecular formula and connectivity of atoms as other isomers, but differ in their shape and properties due to the presence of the ring.
