Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction to the different types of isomers

Two molecules with the same molecular formula but different connections between atoms are constitutional isomers.

Two molecules that have the same molecular formula and same connections. These  molecules differ in their rotation around single bond are conformational isomers.

Two molecules with the same molecular formula but with different functional groups are functional group isomers.

Cis-trans isomerism is exhibited by the compound by the compounds containing double bonds and rings
