Covalent bond
A shared pair of electrons
1 of 19
Structural isomer
Compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures
2 of 19
Polarity
The displacement of electron density(formation of an electric dipole) in a covalent bond, or in a molecule, due to a difference in electronegativity
3 of 19
Position isomers
Structural isomers which have the same carbon skeleton and the same fun ctional group, but in which the functional group is joined at different places on the carbon skeleton
