Question

The isomerism exhibited by the structures given below is position isomerism.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

If the position of the functional group is different in the compound having the same molecular formula and the same functional group then they are called position isomers. Here both compounds have molecular formula $C_3{H}_{8}O$ and only the position of -OH group is changing. Therefore, propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol are position isomers.
