Give the type of isomerism exhibited by each of the following pairs 1,1 Dibromoe

Give the type of isomerism exhibited by each of the following pairs 1,1 Dibromoethane and 1,2 dibromoethane?

  • A. Positional
  • B. Functional
  • C. Ring chain
  • D. Metamerism

Step-by-step solution

1,1-dibromoethane and 1,2-dibromoethane have the same molecular formula (C2H4Br2) but differ in the position of the bromine atoms on the carbon chain. This is a classic example of positional isomerism, where substituents are attached to different carbon atoms.
