**Step-by-Step Text Solution:** 1. **Definition of Isomers**: Isomers are defined as chemical compounds that have the same molecular formula but different chemical structures. 2. **Understanding Molecular Formula**: The molecular formula represents the number and type of atoms in a molecule using their atomic symbols. For example, the molecular formula for butane is C4H10, which indicates it contains 4 carbon (C) atoms and 10 hydrogen (H) atoms. 3. **Example of Isomers**: Consider butane (C4H10). It can exist in different structural forms. One structure is CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3 (normal butane), while another structure can be 2-methylpropane (CH3-CH(CH3)-CH2-CH3). Both structures have the same molecular formula (C4H10) but differ in their arrangement of atoms. ...
