Chemistry - STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM Question with Solution | TestHub

Question Explanation:

The question asks which types of isomerism can be shown by a compound having the molecular formula

${\mathrm{C}}_4{\mathrm{H}}_{10}\mathrm{O}$.

Concept: This question is based on Isomerism, Metamerism, Position Isomerism, Functional Isomerism.

Solution :

For molecular formula ${\mathrm{C}}_4{\mathrm{H}}_{10}\mathrm{O}$, different functional groups are possible such as alcohol (–OH) and ether (–O–), so it shows functional isomerism.

Alcohols like butan-1-ol and butan-2-ol differ in the position of –OH group, so position isomerism is

possible.

Ethers such as ethoxyethane and methoxypropane have the same functional group but different alkyl

groups on either side of oxygen, so metamerism is also shown.

Final Answer: Option (D)
