  • Isomers
    • Stereoisomer
      • The atoms making up the isomer are joined up in the same way, but have a different spatial arrangement
      • Geometrical
        • E - the higher priority groups are on opposite sides of the double bond
        • Z - the higher priority groups are on the same side as the double bond
    • Structural
      • Chain
        • Same molecular formula, but different arrangement of a molecule's carbon skeleton
      • Functional
        • Same molecular formula, but different functional groups
      • Positional
        • Same molecular formula, but the functional group is in a different place
