Isomerism is the phenomenon whereby certain compounds with same molecular formula, exist in different forms owing to their different organisations of atoms.The concept of isomerism illustrates the fundamental importance of molecular structure and shape in organic chemistry.They are two main forms of isomerism they are 1.structural isomerism(constitutional isomerism), 2.stereoisomerism(spatial isomerism)
