Match List - I with List - II.
List - IList - II
Pair of CompoundsType of Isomers
A. 2-Methylpropene and but-1-eneI. Stereoisomers
B. Cis-but-2-ene and trans-but-2-eneII. Position isomers
C. 2-Butanol and diethyl etherIII. Chain isomers
D. But-1-ene and but-2-eneIV. Functional group isomers

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options

  1. AA-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
  2. BA-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
  3. CA-I, B-IV, C-III, D-II
  4. DA-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

Correct answer

D. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

Step-by-step solution

Analyzing the pairs of compounds in List-I:

A. 2-Methylpropene (CH3−C(CH3)=CH2CH_3-C(CH_3)=CH_2) and but-1-ene (CH3−CH2−CH=CH2CH_3-CH_2-CH=CH_2) have the same molecular formula C4H8C_4H_8 but different carbon skeletons (branched vs straight chain). Thus, they are chain isomers. (A-III)

B. Cis-but-2-ene and trans-but-2-ene are geometrical isomers, which fall under the category of stereoisomers. (B-I)

C. 2-Butanol (C4H9OHC_4H_9OH) and diethyl ether (C2H5−O−C2H5C_2H_5-O-C_2H_5) have the same molecular formula C4H10OC_4H_{10}O but different functional groups (alcohol vs ether). Thus, they are functional group isomers. (C-IV)

D. But-1-ene and but-2-ene have the same carbon chain and functional group but differ in the position of the double bond (at C1C_1 vs C2C_2). Thus, they are position isomers. (D-II)

Matching the pairs: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.
