    Compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in their chemical structure are called isomers. There are several types of isomerism including structural isomerism which occurs when atoms are arranged differently without changing space. Structural isomerism includes positional isomers which have the same functional group in different positions and functional isomers which have different functional groups. Stereoisomers have the same structure formula but different three-dimensional arrangements, and constitutional isomers have the same molecular formula but different connectivities.

    ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

    ISOMERISM
    The compounds which have the same molecular
    formula but differ from each other chemical structure
    are called isomer and the phenomenon is called
    isomerism.
    TYPES OF ISOMERISM
    1. Structural Isomerism:- When the isomerism is due to
    difference in the arrangement of atoms within the
    molecules without any reference to space is called
    structural isomerism.
    STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM
    carbon chain are arranged different carbon skeleton
    STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM
    positional isomerism - same molecular molecular formula,
    same functional group, but different position of functional
    group
    STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM
    functional isomerism - the type of isomers formed by
    compounds that have the same molecular formula but different
    functional groups.
    STEREOISOMERS
    -same structure formula, different 3D arrangement
    CONSTITUTIONAL ISOMERISM
    -have the same molecular formulas, but they have different
    connectivities
    ENANTIOMERS
    -mirror images
    DIASTEREOMERS
    - not a mirror image
