Propyl Acetate and valeric acid are which type of isomers:
Correct answer: B. Functional
- A. Tautomers
- B. Functional
- C. Position
- D. Metamers
Explanation
They are functional isomers due to the fact that they have the same molecular composition but different functional groups with valeric acid having a carboxylic acid functional group and propyl acetate having an ester linkage.

About Isomerism
Isomerism occurs when compounds have the same molecular formula but different atom arrangements or spatial orientations. The content includes chain, position, functional, metameric and tautomeric isomerism, along with geometrical and optical isomerism, including cis-trans forms, E/Z notation, chirality and enantiomers.
