•Chain Isomerism It is also known as skeletal isomerism. The components of these isomers display differently branched structures. Commonly, chain isomers differ in the branching of carbon An example of chain isomerism can be observed in the compound C5H12, as illustrated below. Chain Isomerism •Position Isomeris The positions of the functional groups or substituent atoms are different in position isomers. Typically, this isomerism involves the attachment of the functional groups to different carbon atoms in the carbon chain. An example of this type of isomerism can be observed in the compounds having the formula C3H7Cl. Position Isomerism •Functional Isomerism It is also known as functional group isomerism. As the name suggests, it refers to the compounds that have the same chemical formula but different functional groups attached to them. An example of functional isomerism can be observed in the compound C3H6O. •Metamerism This type of isomerism arises due to the presence of different...
