Having the same percentage composition; -- said of two or more different substances which contain the same ingredients in the same proportions by weight, often used with with. Specif.: (a) Polymeric; i. e., having the same elements united in the same proportion by weight, but with different molecular weights; as, acetylene and benzine are isomeric (polymeric) with each other in this sense. See {Polymeric}. (b) Metameric; i. e., having the same elements united in the same proportions by weight, and with the same molecular weight, but which a different structure or arrangement of the ultimate parts; as, ethyl alcohol and methyl ether are isomeric (metameric) with each other in this sense.

Isomerism \I*som"er*ism\, n. (Chem.) The state, quality, or relation, of two or more isomeric substances. {Physical isomerism} (Chem.), the condition or relation of certain (metameric) substances, which, while chemically identical (in that they have the same composition, the same molecular weights, and the same ultimate constitution), are yet physically different, as in their action on polarized light, as dextro- and l[91]vo-tartaric acids. In such compounds there is usually at least one unsymmetrical carbon atom. See {Unsymmetrical}. | |
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: | |

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: | |
Isomorphism \I`so*mor"phism\, n. [Cf. F. isomorphisme.] (Crystallog.) A similarity of crystalline form between substances of similar composition, as between the sulphates of barium ({BaSO4}) and strontium ({SrSO4}). It is sometimes extended to include similarity of form between substances of unlike composition, which is more properly called hom[d2]omorphism. | |

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
isomorphic have the same structure, i.e. if there is an {isomorphism} between them. For every component of one there is a corresponding component of the other. (1995-03-25) | |
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
isomorphism preserves, in both directions, any structure under consideration. Thus a `group isomorphism' preserves group structure; an order isomorphism (between {poset}s) preserves the order relation, and so on. Usually it is clear from context what sort of isomorphism is intended. (1995-03-25) | |
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
isomorphism class a given object. Talking about the isomorphism class (of a {poset}, say) ensures that we will only consider its properties as a poset, and will not consider other incidental properties it happens to have. (1995-03-25) | |
