Examples

• The two mineral samples were isomorphous, sharing nearly identical crystal structures despite their different compositions.
• Isomorphous compounds often display similar physical properties even when their chemical formulas differ.
• In mathematics, isomorphous structures preserve the relationships between their elements.
• The researcher identified isomorphous patterns in the biological systems of both species.
• These isomorphous salts crystallize in the same geometric form.
