Answer
Isomerism is the phenomenon due to which two or more compounds have the same molecular formula but differ in molecular arrangement or in structural formula.
Position isomers — When two or more compounds with the same molecular formula differ in the position of substituent atom or functional group on the carbon atom, they are called position isomers.
Example : But-1-yne and But-2-yne
