What Are Structural Isomers?

The video tutorial explains the concept of structural isomers, using alkanes like methane, ethane, propane, and butane as examples. It discusses how structural isomers have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements. The tutorial also covers the history of lead-free petrol, highlighting the role of octane isomers in improving fuel efficiency. Finally, it explores the structural isomers of hexane, providing their formal names and emphasizing the importance of the longest carbon chain in naming isomers.
