Identify the correct statement in the following :
Options
- A( n )-butane and iso-butane are functional isomers
- BDimethyl ether and ethanol are chain isomers
- CPropan-I-ol and propan-2-ol are position isomers
- DEthanoic acid and methyl methanoate are position isomers
Correct answer
C. Propan-I-ol and propan-2-ol are position isomers
Step-by-step solution
Option (1): n-Butane and iso-butane are position isomers as only position of carbon is changed. Option (2): Dimethyl ether and ethanol are functional isomers as ether and alcohol are different functional groups. Option (3): Propan-l-ol and propan-2-ol are position isomers as only position of alcohol is changed. Option (4): Ethanoic acid and methyl methanoate are functional isomers as ester and acid are different functional groups.
