Question

The compound $C_4{H}_{10}O$ can show:

• A. Metamerism
• B. Functional isomerism
• C. Positional isomerism
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Metamerism: Molecules that have the same molecular formula but a different carbon skeleton on both sides of the functional group.

Functional isomerism: Molecules that have the same molecular formula but different functional groups.

Positonal isomerism: Molecules that have the same molecular formula but different positions of either double or triple bonds, functional groups or substituents.
