MCQ
Study the structures given below carefully and choose the type of isomerism they represent.
$ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{CH}_3 \\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\\\ \text{CH}_3-\text{C}-\text{CH}_3 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{CH}_3$
$ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{CH}_3 \\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\\\ \text{CH}_3-\text{CH}- \text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_3$
  • Chain isomerism.
  • B
    Position isomerism.
  • C
    Functional isomerism.
  • D
    Metamerism.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Chain isomerism.
$ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{CH}_3 \\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\\\ \text{CH}_3-\text{C}-\text{CH}_3 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{CH}_3 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{CH}_3 \\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\\\ \text{CH}_3-\text{CH}- \text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_3$
chain isomers as they have different carbon chains.
