Question:
how do we know how many isomers are there in a compound
Answer:
There is no way to know how many structural isomers a compound can have. It is only based on permutation and combination efforts.
Howver, to know how many stereoisomers a compound can form, there is a formula, 2n, where n is the number of stereocentres, or in simple terms, the number of carbon atoms.
