Isomers
Same atoms present but different arrangement of atoms

Structural isomers
Geometric isomers (cis-trans isomers)
Enantiomers (left and right)
Geometric isomers
Isomers that differ in arrangement of atoms around a double bond, cis an trans
Enantiomer
Isomers that differ in spatial arrangement around asymmetric carbon; left and right arrangements
Derivative hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons with one or more hydrogen atoms substituted for by a different element or group of elements
Hydroxyl functional group
