e.g. alkenes and cycloalkanes can be isomers. Due to their different structures their physical properties (melting point, boiling point etc) are usually different. This diagram shows butane and ...

Water molecules were known to exist as two distinct "isomers", or types, based on their slightly different properties at the atomic level. By separating out the two isomers, researchers were able ...

Water molecules come in two varieties, or isomers, depending on how the spins of their two hydrogen atoms are oriented relative to one another. When the spins are parallel the molecules are known as ...
