Constitutional isomers differ in physical properties such as boiling point and melting point. They also have different chemical reactivities.
In general, the more highly branched the hydrocarbon structure is, the lower the boiling point of the isomer will be compared with less branched isomers.

• Unlike other isomers, enantiomers have identical physical properties such as boiling points and densities.
• Enantiomers do, however, behave differently when they interact with other molecules that have asymmetric carbons.
• Many molecules in your body have asymmetric carbons, so each enantiomer can have a different effect on the body.
