C) the same molecular formula and the same chemical properties.
D) the same molecular formula but represent different states of the compound.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms, resulting in different chemical properties. Propanol and isopropanol both have the molecular formula C3H8O but differ in the branching of the carbon chain. Therefore, they exhibit different properties, such as varying boiling points and solubility in water.
