This type of isomerism is due to difference in way of linking of carbon atoms and the isomers may have either open chain (or) closed chain structure e.g. alkenes and cycloalkanes.
(a) ${{\bf{C}}_{\bf{3}}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{6}}}$
(b) ${{\bf{C}}_{\bf{4}}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{8}}}$
(c) ${{\bf{C}}_{\bf{6}}}{{\bf{H}}_{{\bf{12}}}}$
Note: Ring chain isomers are always functional isomers.
