Isomerism is a phenomenon whereby two or more compounds have the same molecular formula but different structural patterns. The compounds involved are called isomer.
2,2-dimethylbutane is an isomer of hexane because they both have the same molecular formula but different structural patterns.
Hexane can be rearrange to obtain 2,2-dimethylbutane.
In the attached figures, 2,2-dimethylbutane and hexane have the same molecular formula i.e. C₆H₁₄ but their structural arrangement is different. Therefore, they are called isomers.
