catenation

In chemistry terms the difference between catenation and isomerism

is that catenation is the ability of a few elements, most especially carbon, to yield chains and rings by forming covalent bonds with atoms of the same element while isomerism is the interconversion of isomers.

As nouns the difference between catenation and isomerism

is that catenation is the act or process of catenating while isomerism is the phenomenon of the existence of isomers - the existence of different substances with the same molecular formulae.

As nouns the difference between catenation and allotropy

is that catenation is catenation (all senses) while allotropy is (chemistry) a property, exhibited by some elements of existing in multiple forms with different atomic structures.

As nouns the difference between taxonomy and catenation

is that taxonomy is the science or the technique used to make a classification while catenation is catenation (all senses).

In chemistry terms the difference between catenation and heterocatenation

is that catenation is the ability of a few elements, most especially carbon, to yield chains and rings by forming covalent bonds with atoms of the same element while heterocatenation is the catenation of two or more different elements or groups.

As nouns the difference between catenation and heterocatenation

is that catenation is the act or process of catenating while heterocatenation is the catenation of two or more different elements or groups.
