What are structural isomers?
Structural isomers have the same molecular formula, but a different structural formula
What are chain isomers?
Same functional groups but different arrangements of the carbon skeleton
e.g butane and methyl propane are chain isomers
What are position isomers?
Position isomers have the same skeleton and the same atoms or groups of atoms attached
Atoms or groups of atoms are attached to different carbon atoms
E.g. 1-chlorobutane and 2-chlorobutane
What are functional group isomers?
They have the same atoms arranged into different functional groups
E.g. hex-1-ene and cyclohexane
