    What is the name of isomerism exhibited by methyl acetate and ethyl formate. Both are esters. So not functional isomers.

    Do you call them metamers or something else?

    I think structural isomers. Metamers are those that have the same color but different spectral power distribution.

    However I'm taking my first ochem class so I'm not completely sure.
