What does isomerism mean?
The presence of two or more molecules with the same molecular formula but different structural formulas, often resulting in different physical and chemical properties. Isomerism can occur in organic and inorganic compounds.
Example
"The discovery of isomerism in certain organic compounds led to a deeper understanding of their chemical properties and behavior."
