An isomer is a molecule with the same atoms, but different structure, which gives it different properties. An example would be C7H16 where the same 7 carbon atoms and 16 hydrogen atoms are always used, but they're different in structure. Here's a crude picture of C7H16 in different forms.

No problem, chemistry was a lot of fun.
