Compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural or spatial arrangements are called isomers. There are five types of structural isomerism: 1) chain (skeletal) isomerism where compounds have the same formula but different carbon chain structures; 2) position isomerism where functional groups are in different positions; 3) functional group isomerism where different functional groups are present; 4) metamerism where alkyl groups are distributed differently; and 5) tautomerism which is a special type where dynamic equilibrium is established between structures by hydrogen transfer or movement of pi bonds.
