$HCOOC{H}_{2}C{H}_{3}andC{H}_{3}C{H}_{2}COOH$

• A. Functional isomers
• B. Positional isomers
• C. Metamers
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Functional isomers

Structural isomers which show a difference in the functional groups present in the carbon chain is called functional isomers.

Here, the compounds have same molecular fomula but different functional group i.e., ester group and carboxylic acid group. Hence, the given compounds are functional isomers.
