Question

What type of isomerism is exhibited by 1-Bromopropane and 2-Bromopropane?

• A. Positional isomerism
• B. Chain isomerism
• C. Metamerism
• D. Funtional isomerism

Answer 1

The correct option is A Positional isomerism


They are positional isomers.
Positional isomerism:- When two or more compounds with the same molecular formula differ in the position of substituent atom or functional group on the carbon atom, they are called positional isomers and this phonomenon is termed as positional isomerism.
In the given compounds, the position of $Br$ differs ($1-Br$ and $2-Br$). Thus, they exhibit positional isomerism.
