Q14 / 180 · KCET 2017 · Chemistry

Identify the correct statement in the following :

  • A
    \( \mathrm{n} \)-butane and iso-butane are functional isomers
  • B
    Dimethyl ether and ethanol are chain isomers
  • Correct answer
    C
    Propan-I-ol and propan-2-ol are position isomers
  • D
    Ethanoic acid and methyl methanoate are position isomers

Solution

Option (1): n-Butane and iso-butane are position isomers as only position of carbon is changed. Option (2): Dimethyl ether and ethanol are functional isomers as ether and alcohol are different functional groups. Option (3): Propan-l-ol and propan-2-ol are position isomers as only position of alcohol is changed. Option (4): Ethanoic acid and methyl methanoate are functional isomers as ester and acid are different functional groups.

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