Isomers

The video explains how atoms arranged differently in isomers can lead to varied chemical and physical properties. It uses glucose and fructose as examples, highlighting that although they have the same number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, their different arrangements result in distinct properties.

How can the arrangement of atoms affect a compound?

• It alters the chemical and physical properties.

• It has no effect on the compound.

• It changes the color of the compound.

• It makes the compound heavier.

What are isomers?

• Compounds with the same atoms arranged differently.

• Compounds that do not react with anything.

• Compounds that are always liquids.

• Compounds with different numbers of atoms.

What is a key characteristic of isomers?

• They have different atomic arrangements.

• They have the same taste.

• They have identical atomic arrangements.

• They have the same physical state.

Which of the following is true about glucose and fructose?

• They are not related in any way.

• They are identical in structure.

• They are isomers with the same atomic composition.

• They have different numbers of carbon atoms.

Why do glucose and fructose have different properties?

• They are not isomers.

• They are found in different foods.

• They have different atomic arrangements.

• They are made of different elements.
