In organic chemistry, the term isomers can refer to a variety of phenomena.

We've talked about structural and geometric isomers so far.

The molecular formula of structural isomers is the same, but the structural formula is different.

Geometrical isomers have the same structure as geometrical isomers, but they have distinct configurations around the double bond.

We have 2-hexene and 2-methylpentene right here.

Although these compounds have the same amount of carbon atoms, they do not have the same number of hydrogen atoms.

The reason for this is that the state of hybridization is different.

There is\(s{p^2}\)hybridization in alkene and\(s{p^3}\)hybridization in alkene.

Finally, it produces alkene with the chemical formula\({C_6}{H_{12}}\)and alkane with the molecular formula\({C_6}{H_1}4\).

They are not isomers since their molecular formulas differ.
