Solution

(i), (ii) The structures and their IUPAC names of different isomeric amines corresponding to the molecular formula, C4H11N are given below:

(a) CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-NH2

Butanamine (10)

(b)

Butan-2-amine (10)

(c)

2-Methylpropanamine (10)

(d)

2-Methylpropan-2-amine (10)

(e) CH3-CH2-CH2-NH-CH3

N-Methylpropanamine (20)

(f) CH3-CH2-NH-CH2-CH3

N-Ethylethanamine (20)

(g)

N-Methylpropan-2-amine (20)

(h)

N,N-Dimethylethanamine (3°)

(iii) The pairs (a) and (b) and (e) and (g) exhibit position isomerism.

The pairs (a) and (c); (a) and (d); (b) and (c); (b) and (d) exhibit chain isomerism.

The pairs (e) and (f) and (f) and (g) exhibit metamerism.

All primary amines exhibit functional isomerism with secondary and tertiary amines and vice-versa.
