Cornstarch is used to thicken liquids in a variety of recipes such as sauces, gravies, pies, puddings, and stir-fries. It can be replaced with flour, arrowroot, potato starch, tapioca, and even instant mashed potato granules. The ingredient you are most likely to have on hand, of course, is flour, so we'll start with that. When you want 1 cup of liquid to be fairly thick, it takes 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. (A stir-fry sauce might use only 1-2 teaspoons per cup of liquid).
Definition of ISOMER. 1. : one of two or more compounds, radicals, or ions that contain the same number of atoms of the same elements but differ in structural arrangement and properties. 2.: a nuclide isomeric with one or more others.See isomer defined for kids.

In organic chemistry, isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula (i.e. the same number of atoms of each element), but different structural or spatial arrangements of the atoms within the molecule.unctional Isomers. Also referred to as functional group isomers, these are isomers where the molecular formula remains the same, but the type of functional group in the atom is changed. This is possible by rearranging the atoms within the molecule so that theyâre bonded together in different ways.
