WHAT IS POSITION ISOMERISM?

Position isomerism

In position isomerism, the basic carbon skeleton remains unchanged, but functional groups are in different position.

For example, there are two structural isomers with the molecular formula C3H7Br. In one of them the bromine atom is on the end of the chain, whereas in the other it's attached in the middle.
