.2-propanol and 1-propanol show the isomerism
Correct answer: D. positional isomerism
- A. metamerism
- B. functional group isomerism
- C. geometric isomerism
- D. positional isomerism
Explanation
Positional isomerism involves isomers that differ in the position of a functional group or substituent on the carbon chain. In the case of 2-propanol (isopropanol) and 1-propanol, the isomerism arises from the different positions of the hydroxyl (-OH) group on the propane chain

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
