    To identify isomers, one must first determine if compounds have the same chemical formula. If formulas are different, the compounds are not isomers. If formulas are the same, compare bonding patterns - different patterns indicate constitutional isomers, same patterns with different spatial orientations indicate stereoisomers, and same patterns that can be converted by bond rotation indicate conformational isomers.

    HOW TO IDENTIFY

    ISOMERS?

    FIRST: Determine the chemical formula of each compound. (chemical


    formula tells you how many atoms of each element is in a molecule)

    Example: ethanol and Dimethy ether SECOND:


    Chemical Formula: C2H6O TAKE NOTE!!!

    A. If the chemical formulas are different, then


    THIRD: the compounds are completely different and
    there is NO isomeric relationship.
    B.1. If there are structural differences
    in the bonding patterns, then the
    compounds are constitutional
    (structural isomers). B. If the chemical formulas are the same, then
    we identify the difference between the
    B.2. If the compounds have the compounds to determine their relationship.
    same structural connections, but the
    spatial orientations are
    different, then the compounds are
    stereoisomers.

    Do the compounds have the


    same molecular formula?

    Not Isomers

    Isomers

    Do the compounds have the same


    connectivity?

    Stereoisomers

    Can the compounds be interconverted


    by rotation about single bonds?

    Configurational
