is this term equivalent to constitutional isomers and configurational isomers?
i think i have it posted correctly. on the other hand, conformation isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula and connectivity but differ by rotation around a single bond--that's where conformational and configurational differ.
the way i remember conformational is thinking back to the newman projections and seeing gauche/staggered/anti. conformational isomers are the exact same molecule (just rotated around sigma bond differently) where configurational can't be superimposable
