  4. D \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}\) and \(\mathrm{HCOOCH}_{3}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5}\) and \(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{7} \mathrm{OCH}_{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Functional isomers contain two different functional groups like aldehydes \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CHO}\) and ketones \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COCH}_{3}\)
But, in case of \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5}\) and \(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{7} \mathrm{OCH}_{3}\) both functional groups are same i.e. ether.
