2
Q
What are position isomers?
A
same molecular formula but functional group is located in a different position.
3
Q
What are functional group isomers?
A
same molecular formula but different functional group
4
Q
What are chain isomers?
A
same molecular formula but parent chain has a different length.

Q
What is a primary alcohol/halogenalkane?
A
the hydroxyl group is bonded to a carbon atom that is bonded to one other carbon.
6
