Question
Define Position isomerism and Functional isomerism.
Solution
Position isomerism: When the same molecular formula represents two or more compounds which differ in the position of the same functional group, then such compounds are called position isomers and the phenomenon is called position isomerism. For example,
Functional isomerism: When the same molecular formula represents two or more compounds which differ in the presence of different functional groups, then such compounds are called functional isomers and the phenomenon is called functional isomerism. For example.
