Step 1. Functional isomerism needs a second, real compound sharing the same molecular formula but a different functional group.

Step 2. Ethylene (C2H4) has no other stable structural isomer sharing that formula.

Step 3. Propane (C3H8) is the only stable compound with that formula -- no functional isomer exists for it.

Step 4. CH2Cl2 (dichloromethane) likewise has only the one possible arrangement -- no isomer. …
