Position isomerism
Functional group isomerism
3
Q
What are chain isomers?
A
Compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures of carbon skeleton
4
Q
What are position isomers?
A
Compounds with same molecular formula but different structures due to different positions of the same functional group on same carbon skeleton
5
Q
What are functional group isomers?
A
Compounds with same molecular formula but with different arrangement of atoms due to different functional groups.
6
Q
What are stereoisomers?
A
Compounds with the same structural formula but have different spatial arrangement of atoms.
