Step-by-step explanation: The compounds having similar molecular formula but different arrangement of atoms or groups in space are called isomers and the phenomenon is called as isomerism.


CH_3OCH_3 and
C_2H_5OH are functional isomers which have same molecular formula but different functional groups attached.

(1)
NO_2 and
N_2O_4 are different compounds.

(2)
