Answer
Functional group isomers
Reason — CH3-CH2-OH is ethyl alcohol and contains Hydroxyl (OH) as the functional group.
CH3-O-CH3 is Dimethyl ether and contains Ether C-O-C as the functional group.
As the two have same molecular formula but different but different functional groups hence, they are called functional isomers.
