What does ISOMER mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
One of two or more compounds that share the same molecular formula but differ in how their atoms are arranged.
Because an isomer has exactly the same atoms and the same total count of each element as its relatives, the formula alone cannot tell one isomer from another; only the arrangement of atoms, or the way the molecule folds, sets them apart. That difference in arrangement can change everything about how a substance behaves, so one isomer of a compound might be a useful medicine while another isomer with the identical formula is inactive or even harmful. Chemists rely on techniques such as crystallography and spectroscopy to work out which isomer they are actually looking at.
How ISOMER is used
A standard term in chemistry, used whenever compounds with an identical formula need to be told apart by structure.
- Glucose and fructose are a well-known pair of isomers with the same formula.
- The lab needed weeks to confirm which isomer of the compound had formed.
- Only one isomer of the drug turned out to be safe for patients.
- Chemists sketched every possible isomer of the molecule on the whiteboard.
- Changing the reaction conditions favored one isomer over the other.
