Q14 / 180 · KCET 2017 · Chemistry
Identify the correct statement in the following :
- A\( \mathrm{n} \)-butane and iso-butane are functional isomers
- BDimethyl ether and ethanol are chain isomers
- Correct answerCPropan-I-ol and propan-2-ol are position isomers
- DEthanoic 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'.
