Question

Molecules that have the same chemical formula (same numbers of each atom) but different three-dimensional shapes are called __________.

Answer 1

Isomers

Step-by-step explanation:

Molecules that have the same molecular formula but different molecular structures are known as isomers.

Two known major isomers categories are:

1). Ptructural isomers and

2). Stereoisomers.

Structural isomers

Structural isomer atoms in are bonded or connected in different ways such that structural isomers usually contain distinct functional groups or bonding patterns.

Stereoisomers

The atoms of stereoisomers, are connected in a same way in each isomer but they are oriented in space differently

Hydrocarbon's molecular geometries of are related to their physical and chemical properties.
