List - I | List - II |
|
|---|---|---|
(I)
| (A) Metamers | (P) Structural isomers |
(II)
| (B) Tautomer | (Q) Stereoisomers |
(III)
| (C) Geometrical isomer | (R) Non identical |
(IV)
| (D) Functional isomers | (S) Constitutional isomers |
.
Choose correct option for (I)
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Analyze Structure 1: A benzene ring with an –OH group and a –CH₃ group attached (Cresol, a phenolic compound).
Analyze Structure 2: A benzene ring with a –CH₂–OH group attached (Benzyl alcohol, an aromatic alcohol).
Determine Relationship: Both share the same molecular formula (C₇H₈O) but have different functional groups, making them Functional Isomers (matches D).
Classify Isomerism: Functional isomers are a type of Structural Isomer (matches P) and are also known as Constitutional Isomers (matches S).
Correct Match: Column-I (I) correctly matches with (D), (P), (S), which corresponds to option (C).
