Ether and alcohol are $\ldots \ldots$ isomers.

  • A
    chain
  • B
    position
  • Correct answer
    C
    functional
  • D
    not isomers

Solution

The general formula for ethers and alcohols both is $\mathrm{C}_{n} \mathrm{H}_{2 n+2} \mathrm{O}$ but the functional group present in ethers is $-\mathrm{O}-$ and in alcohols is $-\mathrm{OH}$, so they are functional isomers.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
