Isomerism:Chemical compounds which have the same M.F but differ in properties are called
isomers & the phenomenon is isomerism

Classification

1) Structural Isomerism:
Isomers which have the same M.F but differ in their structural formula are called structural
isomers & the phenomenon is structural isomerism

• Chain Isomerism
• Position Isomerism
• Functional gp Isomerism-Tautomerism
• Metamerism

A) Chain Isomerism:isomers differ in C chain or skeleton
