What is heat-isomerization?
In: Chemistry
Isomers are chemical compounds that are made up of the same atoms, but configured differently. For instance, butane and methylpropane are both C4H10, but butane is stick-shaped and methylpropane is T-shaped.
Heat isomerization is when you take a compound, and heat it up, and that causes the compound to change its shape. No atoms are added or lost; it just twists, or reforms, so the formula remains the same but the shape is now different.
You made isomers, using heat. Heat isomerization.
