Question

Give the type of isomerism exhibited by each of the following pairs.

n-Butyl alcohol and diethyl ether.

• A. Functional
• B. Position
• C. Tautomerism
• D. None of These

Answer 1

The correct option is A Functional

n-Butyl alcohol and diethyl ether exbhit functional isomerism.

1. Functional isomerism, an example of structuralisomerism, occurs substances have the same molecular formula but different functional groups. This means thatfunctional isomers belong to different homologous series.
2. n-Butyl alcohol(alcohol functional group)
   
3. diethyl ether(ether functional group)
   
4. Hence option A is correct.
