Yes, isomers have the same molecular formula, but different structural formulas.

Yes, all isomers have same molecular formula.
In chemistry, isomers are molecules with the same chemical formula and often with the same kinds of chemical bonds between atoms, but in which the atoms are arranged differently (analogous to a chemical anagram). That is to say, they have different structural formulae. Many isomers share similar if not identical properties in most chemical contexts. This should not be confused with a nuclear isomer, which involves a nucleus at different states of excitement.

All isomers have the same molecular formula...they differ in their spatial arrangement..

yes. however, in the case of optical isomers, two prefixes will be attached to it's formula to differentiate between the two. one being an r-isomer and the other a s-isomer. rectus and sinistra respectively. one bends light to the left and the other bends light to the right

All optical, configurational, and conformational isomers are trivially of a given molecular formula.

Yes. That's what makes them isomers: they are only different in terms of the direction of a bond here or there.

yes, they have the same moleculer formula but different structural formula. they hav the same no. of atoms but the manner in which the atoms are arranged is different . like 2 di chloride and 3 di chloride. i hope it helps!!

They all have the same EMPIRICAL formula, but their STRUCTURAL formulae are different.
For example, C6H12 could be:
cyclohexane
1-hexene
2-hexene
3-hexene
2-methyl-1-pentene
2-methyl-2-pentene
2-methyl-3-pentene
etc.

yah, but they have different arrangement of the atoms
