Define structural isomerism
When molecules have the same molecular formula but different structural formal
What is position isomerism
Functional group is attached to main chain at a different place
What is functional group isomerism
Same atoms but a different functional group due to a different arrangement of atoms
What is chain isomerism
Hydrocarbon chain organised differently
