ISOMERS
« on: August 29, 2013, 07:54:38 AM »
Is there any clear difference between position isomerism and metamerism. In both types the position of functional group is changed, then why two different types?

There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
