They are called isomers. Isomers may be structural isomers (e.g. 1-propanol and isopropanol) or stereoisomers (e.g. L-aspartic acid and D-aspartic acid).

What molecules have the same molecular formula but different structures and properties?
Isomers are compounds that have same molecular formulas but different structures. A familiar example is the case of glucose and fructose. Both have the same formula viz, C6H1206. But they have different structures and hence exhibit different properties.
Name three typical shapes of protein molecules?
right handed alpha helices, left handed alfa helices, and beta sheets
Why proteins come in an almost unlimited variety of shapes?
Because the amino acids that make up protein molecules come in a variety of shapes and sizes and, therefore, can create protein molecules of different shapes. I believe that's it, at least. It's been a while since I took high school biology.
Why do molecules of alpha glucose and beta glucose have different shapes?
because of the diffrence in the position of anomeric carbon atom left or right
Why it is important to know the shape of molecules in relation to their solubility in water?
Some shapes will allow many molecules to arrange around the water molecule while other shapes will not
What is the shape and volume of the liquid molecul?
Different molecules have different shapes and volumes.
What does VSEPR. Theory describe?
The correct answer is: Why molecules have different shapes.
What describes VSEPR theory?
The correct answer is: Why molecules have different shapes.
What is the formula for finding the surface area?
There are different formulae for different shapes.
What is the formula used to find surface area?
There are different formulae for different shapes.
What does the VSEPR theory describes?
VSEPR is valence spin electron pair repulsion, and helps in describing the electron domain geometry and the molecular geometry of a substance.
What is the formula to find square millimeters?
the formulae are different for different shapes, you have to be more speciefic.
Why do pure salt sugar and quartz all have different shapes?
The atoms of the salt. sugar, and quartz molecules bond together into different crystalline structures that result in their different natural shapes.
Why is a formula for a cone and a cylinder different?
Cones and cylinders are different shapes. Likewise you could not calculate the area of a square with the formula for a triangle.
What different type of shapes can carbon molecules assume?
Carbon molecules can assume three types of shapes. These types are trigonal, linear, and tetrahedral, and can be found in every part of a person's daily life.
What molecules have the same molecular formula but different structures and properties?
Isomers are compounds that have same molecular formulas but different structures. A familiar example is the case of glucose and fructose. Both have the same formula viz, C6H1206. But they have different structures and hence exhibit different properties.
What If two minerals have the same chemical composition but cleave into different shapes what is true?
They have different structures.
