The compound with molecular formula C4H10O can exhibit:
Open in App
Solution
The correct options are
A metamerism
B optical isomerism
C functional isomerism
D position isomerism
i) Metamerism arises in compounds when two different alkyl groups are attached to the same functional group. Ex: C2H5OC2H5 & CH3OC3H7.
ii) Functional isomerism arises in compounds with different functional group but same molecular formula Ex: C2H5OC2H5 & C4H9OH.
iii) Position isomerism arises in compounds with the difference only in the position of the functional group.
Ex: butane-1-ol(CH3−CH2−CH2−CH2−OH) and butane-2-ol( CH3−CH2−CH(OH)−CH3).
Therefore C4H10O shows all the above types of isomerism.
