- Isomer - Compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural formulae.
There are two main forms of isomerism: structural isomerism and stereoisomerism. - Isotope - The different types of atoms of the same chemical element, each having a
different atomic mass (mass number). Isotopes of an element have nuclei with the same
number of protons (the same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons. - IUPAC - Acronym for International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.
- IUPAC Nomenclature - The international standard set of rules for naming molecules.
