Different between position and functional isomerism with example

1.	Different between position and functional isomerism with example
Answer» position isomers: Isomers which differ in position of functional group or multiple bond in the same carbon chain are called position isomers.for example: 2 pantanone[CH3-C(=O)-CH2-CH2-CH3] is a positional isomers of 3 pantanone[CH3-CH2-C(=O)-CH2-CH3] .functional isomers: compounda having the same molecular formula but different functional group are called functional isomers.for example: propionaldehyde [CH3-CH2-CH(=O)] and acetone [CH3-C(=O)-CH3]. Both compound have same molecular formula C3H6O but have different functional groups.
