- Isomers
- Same molecular formula but atoms arranged differently
- Structural Isomers
- Same molecular formula but different structural formula
- Positional Isomers
- The same functional groups attached to the main chain at different points
- Functional Group Isomers
- Functional groups that are different
- Chain Isomers
- Different arrangement of the hydrocarbon chain i.e. branching
- Makes detecting unknown difficult as same molecular formula so need analytical methods
- Stereo-isomerism
- Same structural formula but different arrangement of bonds
- Position of substituents either side of C=C
- Substituents rotate around single bond
- Subsituants on the same side= Z = Cis
- Substituants on different side = E= Trans
