Methoxy methane and ethanol are
- A position isomers
- B chain isomers
- C functional isomers
- D optical isomers
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) functional isomers
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OCH}_{3}, \quad \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}\)
\(\begin{array}{cc}\begin{array}{c}\text { Methoxy methane } \\ \text { (alcohol) }\end{array} & \text { Ethanol (ether) } \\ \text { functional group }\end{array}\)
\(\begin{array}{ll}\left(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{O}\right) & \left(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{O}\right) \text { molecular formula }\end{array}\)
In methoxy methane and ethanol both molecular formula is same but functional groups are different, so they are functional isomers.
