Solution

The correct option is D

Alcohols


Isomers :

  • isomerism in organic chemistry is a phenomenon shown by two or more organic compounds having the same molecular formula but different properties due to differences in the arrangement of atoms along with the carbon skeleton (structural isomerism) or in space (Stereo isomerism).

The explanation for the correct option

(D) - Alcohols

Functional isomers:

  • Are structural isomers that have the same molecular formula (that is, the same number of atoms of the same elements), but the atoms are connected in different ways so that the groups are dissimilar.
  • These groups of atoms are called functional groups, or functionalities.

Explanation of incorrect options

(A) - Aldehydes

Aldehydes are members of a class of organic chemical compounds represented by the general structural formula R-CHO.Rmay be hydrogen or a hydrocarbon radical-substituted or unsubstituted.

Example-

(B) - Ketones.

In ketones, the carbonyl group has 2 hydrocarbon groups attached to it.

These can be either the ones containing benzene rings or alkyl groups. Ketones do not have a hydrogen atom attached to the carbonyl group.

Example-

Hence option (D) is the correct answer.
