Question

Which of the following is/are true for Metamers?

• A. They have the same molecular formula
• B. They have different functional groups
• C. There are different number of carbons on either side of the functional group
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

There are different number of carbons on either side of the functional group

Metamerism is seen in compounds which have the same functional group but the nature of alkyl group around the polyvalent functional group is different. It occures among members of the same homologous family.
