First we will talk about compounds just containing carbon
and hydrogen, these compounds are called
hydrocarbons.

F. There are two different structures for C4H 10 called
isomers, because they contain different types of
carbon.

Isomerism
Constitutional Isomers (Structural Isomers) are different
compounds of the same formula. The different structures
from the previous slide for the formula C 4H10 is an example of
Constitutional isomers.
