Which from following pairs of compounds exhibits metamerism?

Options

  1. ABut-2-ene and But-1-ene
  2. BMethoxymethane and Ethanol
  3. CEthoxyethane and Methoxypropane
  4. DButane and 2-Methylpropane

Correct answer

C. Ethoxyethane and Methoxypropane

Step-by-step solution

Ethoxyethane ( CH ₃- CH ₂- O - CH ₂- CH ₃ ) and methoxypropane ( CH ₃- O - CH ₂- CH ₂- CH ₃ ) have same functional group as ether but have different distribution of carbon atoms attached to etheral oxygen. Thus, both pair of compounds show metamerism.
