  Isomerism
    1.0 Isomerism
    2.0 Structural Isomerism
    3.0 Tautomerism
    4.0 Geometrical isomerism in the compounds containing C=N
    5.0 Optical Isomerism
    6.0 Optical isomerism in compounds having more than one chiral carbons
    7.0 Optically active compounds having no asymmetric carbon

2.1 Chain or Nuclear Isomerism

In this type the isomers differ in the variation of the carbon chain (or) skeleton of the molecule. The same molecular formula may represent a straight chain of carbons as well as a branched chain. The molecular formula ${C_4}{H_{10}}$ stands for two isomers namely n-butane and isobutane.
