What is Isomers

Handbook of Research on Maximizing Cognitive Learning through Knowledge Visualization
Chemical compounds that have the same molecular formula and mass but different structural formulas. Isomerism may be structural (when atoms are placed in different order) or spatial (when atoms are arranged in different positions in space). They may differ in physical or chemical properties because of different arrangement of atoms in their molecules.

Abstract
This chapter provides visual interpretations of natural and human-made events as examples of cognitive solutions for knowledge visualization. Mathematical description of technological and art related solutions pertaining to the earthly and celestial events is followed by examination of physical concepts versus sports. After that, the chapter explores cell biology versus human habitats; description of natural and human-made new materials at macroscopic, molecular, and atomic scales; an account of carbon as a gem, a molecule, and a heart of nanotechnology; and finally, a text about geography and maps, along with objects and events they represent. The leading format of this chapter is integration of multiple disciplines toward developing an interdisciplinary way of delivering knowledge through visualization-related electronic visuals, needed in every discipline. Issues and materials comprised in this chapter indicate the importance of the visual part of knowledge presentation for cognitive learning.
