- BC5H12
- CC3H8O
- DC3H6O
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
Metamerism compound which have same molecular formula but different number of carbon atoms on either sides of functional group are known as metamers and this phenomenon is known as metamerism.
Compounds with formula C4H10O has ether functional group in
which following arrangements
are possible. So, it shows
metamerism. For example
CH3 - CH2 - O - CH2 - CH3,

and CH3 - O - CH2 - CH2 - CH3 are metamers as structure of alkyl chains are different around the functional group.
