Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The other name of structural isomer is ____
A
Chain isomer
B
Constitutional isomer
C
Configurational isomer
D
Stereoisomer
E
Metamerism
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Constitutional isomers, also known as structural isomers, are specific types of isomers that share the same molecular formula but have different bonding atomic organization and bonding patterns. The three prominent types of constitutional isomers are: Skeletal isomers (commonly referred to as chain isomers)

Detailed explanation-2: -A structural isomer, also known as a constitutional isomer, is one in which two or more organic compounds have the same molecular formulas but different structures.

Detailed explanation-3: -Structural (constitutional) isomers have the same molecular formula but a different bonding arrangement among the atoms. Stereoisomers have identical molecular formulas and arrangements of atoms. They differ from each other only in the spatial orientation of groups in the molecule.

Detailed explanation-4: -Types of Isomers: Constitutional Isomers, Stereoisomers, Enantiomers, and Diastereomers.

Detailed explanation-5: -In chemistry, a structural isomer (or constitutional isomer in the IUPAC nomenclature) of a compound is another compound whose molecule has the same number of atoms of each element, but with logically distinct bonds between them.
