Isomorphism: There is a bijective mapping which is a homomorphism. In effect, the group elements are relabelled.
Homomorphism: A mapping which preserves the structure between group elements.

Just thinking out aloud, obviously there are details to fill in!

Thanks for that, really helpful! Do you happen to know how to find proper subgroups from a group?

The question I'm looking at is M = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}, list all the proper subgroups. Please help?
