Chemical substance In organic chemistry, there can be more than one chemical compound with the same composition and molecular weight. Generally, these are called isomers. Isomers usually have substantially different chemical properties, and often may be isolated without spontaneously interconverting. A common example is glucose vs. fructose. The former is an aldehyde, the latter is a ketone. Their interconversion requires either enzymatic or acid-base catalysis. However, tautomers are an exception: the isomerization occurs spontaneously in ordinary conditions, such that a pure substance cannot be isolated into its tautomers, even if these can be identified spectroscopically or even isolated in special conditions.

Magic cube classes Perfect magic cube. Nasik; A. H. Frost (1866) referred to all but the simple magic cube as Nasik!<br> C. Planck (1905) redefined "Nasik" to mean magic hypercubes of any order or dimension in which all possible lines summed correctly.<br> i.e. Nasik is a preferred alternate, and less ambiguous term for the "perfect" class.<br>Minimum correct summations required = 13"m". All pan-"r"-agonals sum correctly for "r" = 1, 2 and 3. Alternate Perfect Note that the above is a relatively new definition of "perfect". Until about 1995 there was much confusion about what constituted a "perfect" magic cube (see the discussion under
