Types of Rearrangement reactions in chemistry

An atom or group of atoms migrate from one position to another; such reactions are rearrangement reactions.

Post rearrangement, the molecule formed has the atoms arranged differently but has the same molecular formula as the parent. Therefore, such rearrangements create structural isomers, compounds that differ in structure but have the same molecular formula.
