Functional group is the chloro group R-Cl. So positional isomerism is when you change position of the Cl
I see,
so 1 and 3 could be positional isomerism. Looking at the structures on the link, are 7, 8 and 5 considered chain isomerism due to the CH3 being in different positions?

No 7,8,5 are positional isomers. In each, there is one methyl group branching out. The only difference is the position of the chloro group [chlorine atom] 1,3 are also positional isomers.

So, 2,4 and 6 are chain isomers? Is this simply due to the different carbon skeletons?
