CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-COCH3 Is the functional isomer of
Correct answer: A. CH3 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 CHO
- A. CH3 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 CHO
- B. CH3CH2CH(OH)CH2CH3
- C. CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2COOH
- D. CH3CH=CHCH2CH2COCH3
Explanation
This is the functional isomer of CH3 CH2 CH2 CH2 COCH3, as explained previously. Both molecules have the same carbon skeleton (six carbons) and the same number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, but the functional groups differ.

About Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry begins with carbon compounds classified by carbon skeleton, saturation and functional group. Work includes identifying groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino, applying basic nomenclature, and distinguishing structural, geometric and optical isomers, where the same molecular formula does not necessarily mean the same structure or properties.
