Structural Isomer

Real World Example

Imagine you have a set of Lego bricks and you're tasked with building a model, but you're unsure whether to make a car or a plane. This is similar to structural isomers, where you have the same set of atoms (like your Lego bricks) but can arrange them differently to create distinct compounds. Just as the car and plane models are different yet built from the same pieces, structural isomers are different compounds that share the same molecular formula but have atoms connected in varying sequences.
