Compound with the same number of atoms in a different arrangement (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

isomer

(Other definitions for isomer that I've seen before include "Compound with same formula as another but not atom arrangement" , "Chemical compound - I'm Eros (anag)" , "Compound of identical atoms to another but in differing arrangement" , "similar compound" , "One of two compounds differing in arrangement of the same atoms" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
