Allomerism

Description:

Allomerism is a phenomenon in which chemical compounds with the same molecular formula have distinct structures due to different arrangements of atoms. It occurs when isomers have different connectivity or spatial arrangements, resulting in different chemical and physical properties.

Sample Sentences:

• The concept of allomerism is crucial in understanding the differences in properties exhibited by various chemical compounds.
• Molecular biologists study the allomerism present in organic molecules as it influences their function and behavior.
• The allomeric forms of a compound can have completely different solubilities, making them useful in various industrial processes.
• Chemists often use spectroscopic techniques to identify and differentiate allomeric compounds based on their unique structural features.
