  42. Constitutional Isomers/Structural isomers
    The molecules functional groups and atoms are joined together in different ways
  43. Stereoisomers/Spatial Isomers
    The bond organization is the same between two given molecules, but the position of a molecules's functional groups and atoms within space differs
