molecule with the same molecular structure but different structural formula
A
fats
B
lipids
C
fossil fuels
D
isomers
E
Oil
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Compounds that have the same molecular formula but different chemical structures are called isomers. Remember isomerism is a property between a pair (or more) of molecules, i.e. a molecule is an isomer of another molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -Structural Isomers 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: -Isomers. Isomers are compounds with identical chemical formulae, but different structures.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hence, isomers with the same molecular and structural formula are called Stereoisomers.

Detailed explanation-5: -Structural 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.
