Molecules having same molecular formula....

Molecules having same molecular formula. But differing in structure (or) spatial orientation of atom is known isomers and phenomenon known as isomerism. Molecules which differ in structural formula are known as structural isomers and phenomenon is known as structural isomerism structural isomerism can be broadly classified as
(i) Chain isomerism (ii) Positional isomerism (iii) Functional isomerism
(iv) Metamerism (v) Tautomerism
