Solution
When two or more compounds have same molecular formula but different alkyl groups on either side of the functional group. the compounds are called metameres. In the given structures V and VI or VI and VII form a pair of metameres because alkyl groups are different on either side of the functional group -0 V. CH3−CH2−O−CH2−CH3 (Metameres) VI. CH3−O−CH2−CH2−CH3 (Metaineresl and VI.CH3−O−CH2−CH2−CH3 (Metameres) VII. CH3−O−CH(CH3)−CH3 (Metameres)
