Give the type of isomerism exhibited by each of the following pairs. n-Butyl alcohol and diethyl ether
- A. Functional
- B. Position
- C. Tautomerism
- D. None of These
Step-by-step solution
n-Butyl alcohol (CH3CH2CH2CH2OH) and diethyl ether (CH3CH2OCH2CH3) have the same molecular formula (C4H10O) but different functional groups (alcohol vs. ether). This is functional isomerism, a type of structural isomerism where compounds have the same molecular formula but different functional groups.
