E. Pentane and 2, 2-dimethyl propane are chain isomers.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
A. Propanal and propanone are functional isomers.
B. Ethoxyethane and methoxypropane are metamers.
C. But-2-ene shows optical isomerism.
D. But-1-ene and but-2-ene are functional isomers.
E. Pentane and 2, 2-dimethyl propane are chain isomers.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Options
- AA, B and C only
- BB, C and D only
- CC, D and E only
- DA, B and E only
Correct answer
D. A, B and E only
Step-by-step solution
A. Propanal () and propanone (): Same formula , different functional groups (aldehyde vs ketone) → Functional isomers. True
B. Ethoxyethane () and methoxypropane (): Same ether group, different alkyl groups → Metamers. True
C. But-2-ene (): No chiral carbon, shows geometrical isomerism (cis-trans), not optical. False
D. But-1-ene and but-2-ene: Both are alkenes, differ in position of double bond → Position isomers, not functional isomers. False
E. Pentane and 2,2-dimethylpropane: Both , different carbon skeleton → Chain isomers. True
Correct: A, B and E only.
B. Ethoxyethane () and methoxypropane (): Same ether group, different alkyl groups → Metamers. True
C. But-2-ene (): No chiral carbon, shows geometrical isomerism (cis-trans), not optical. False
D. But-1-ene and but-2-ene: Both are alkenes, differ in position of double bond → Position isomers, not functional isomers. False
E. Pentane and 2,2-dimethylpropane: Both , different carbon skeleton → Chain isomers. True
Correct: A, B and E only.
