Q19 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2021 (06 Aug Shift 1) · Chemistry

Metamerism can be exhibited by the compounds containing

A
monovalent functional group
Correct answer
B
bivalent functional group
C
double bond
D
triple bond

Solution

Metamerism occurs when the compound has different number of carbon atoms on either side of functional group, i.e. bivalent functional group. e.g., $\left.\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5-\mathrm{S}-\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \\ \mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{S}-\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_7\end{array}\right]$ metamers.

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