Question 5

isomers

Answer 5

molecules that share the same chemical formula but differ in the placement

Question 6

Structural isomers

Answer 6

are isomers that have the same component atoms but they are arranged differently from each other.

Question 7

Geometric isomers

Answer 7

have a different arrangement of atoms around a double bond.
