MCQ
The compound which shows metamerism is :
  • A
    $\mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{12}$
  • B
    $\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{8} \mathrm{O}$
  • C
    $\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{O}$
  • $\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}$
d
$\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}$

This molecular formula is applicable for homologous series ether (-O-) a bivalent functional group and as we know ether with minimum four-C shows metamerism. $\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}\, \&\, \mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}$ are metamers.
