Compounds with the same chemical formula but different physical structures

Real World Example

Imagine trying to organize your closet, where you have the same number of shirts, pants, and shoes, but you can arrange them in various ways to create different looks. This is similar to isomers, where compounds have the same chemical formula (like having the same items in your closet) but can be arranged differently in space, leading to different physical structures and properties (just as different arrangements of your clothes can create different outfits). Just as the same clothes can create a unique style depending on their arrangement, isomers have distinct characteristics despite having the same molecular components.
