Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Constitutional isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula but different connectivity between the atoms. Hexane has the molecular formula C6H14, and the two molecules with the IDs 11eb6c44_5903_33b1_8d9d_957fedc5704d_TB8310_00 and 11eb6c44_5903_33b2_8d9d_052a75e1948b_TB8310_00 both have that formula and a different arrangement of atoms than the original hexane molecule, making them constitutional isomers.
