If different functional groups are present it is termed as
Correct answer: B. Functional group isomerism
- A. Position isomerism
- B. Functional group isomerism
- C. Chain isomerism
- D. None of above
Explanation
It is the type of isomers formed by compounds that have the same moleculer formula but different functional groups.For example,propanone and propane are functional isomers as they both have the same molecular formula but different functional groups.

About Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry begins with carbon compounds classified by carbon skeleton, saturation and functional group. Work includes identifying groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino, applying basic nomenclature, and distinguishing structural, geometric and optical isomers, where the same molecular formula does not necessarily mean the same structure or properties.
