To draw: Pairs of simple sketches comparing two structural isomers.
Introduction: Isomers are defined as the compounds that have similar molecular formula but different structures. They do not have same physical and chemical properties and may differ in their common name. Isomers are three types, namely structural isomers, geometric isomers, and enantiomers.

Introduction: Isomers are defined as the compounds that have similar molecular formula but different structures. They do not have same physical and chemical properties and may differ in their common name. Isomers are three types, namely structural isomers, geometric isomers, and enantiomers.
To explain: The reason why differences in isomers are biologically important.
Introduction: Carbon occurs widely in nature in both inorganic and organic forms. Organic compounds are chemical compounds, wherein, carbon atoms form the backbone of the molecule by bonding covalently. The inorganic forms of carbon are very simple carbon compound that are not bonded either to hydrogen or another carbon.
