Answer from: mem8163

Molecular formula gives the exact amount of each type of element in a molecule. Hence, it gives the formula of the compound. Structural formula on the other hand shows how the different elements in a molecule of a compound are arranged in space.

Isomerism is a phenomenon whereby two or more compounds have the same molecular formula but different structural patterns. The compounds involved are called isomer.

2,2-dimethylbutane is an isomer of hexane because they both have the same molecular formula but different structural patterns.

Hexane can be rearrange to obtain 2,2-dimethylbutane.

In the attached figures, 2,2-dimethylbutane and hexane have the same molecular formula i.e. C₆H₁₄ but their structural arrangement is different. Therefore, they are called isomers.
