isomericadj.

/ʌɪsəʊˈmɛrɪk/

Etymology: Formed as isomer n. + -ic suffix; in modern French isomérique: after German isomerisch (Berzelius, Jahresbericht of Swed. Acad. Sciences, 31 March 1831).

a. Chemistry. Composed of the same elements in the same proportions, and having the same molecular weight, but forming different substances, with different properties (owing to the different grouping or arrangement of the constituent atoms). Said of two or more compounds, or of one compound in relation to another (const. with).This was the sense in which the term was introduced by Berzelius; but many later chemists (e.g. Wanklyn in Watts Dict. Chem. 1865) have applied it in a wider sense, so as to include also the polymeric compounds of Berzelius, i.e. those which have their elements in the same proportions, but the number of atoms in one a multiple of those in the other, e.g. butyric acid C₄H₈O₂, and aldehyde C₂H₄O; by these the isomeric compounds of Berzelius have been distinguished as metameric. More recent authors again (e.g. Tilden in Fownes' Chem. 1886) have used these terms more narrowly, subdividing the isomeric of Berzelius into isomeric strictly so called, and metameric; the former being compounds of the same molecular composition, which exhibit the same or closely similar decompositions and transformations, when subjected to the action of the same re-agents, such as the C₁₀H₈ hydrocarbons, the glucoses, the tartaric acids, etc.; the latter, those which exhibit dissimilar transformations under similar circumstances, as propionic acid, methyl acetate, and ethyl formate C₃H₆O₂.
