The isomerism in which the compounds differ with respect to functional group but have same molecular formula is called:

Correct answer: B. Functional group isomerism

  • A. Metamerism
  • B. Functional group isomerism
  • C. Position isomerism
  • D. Chain isomerism

Explanation

Functional group isomerism is the correct answer because it refers to isomers that have the same molecular formula but differ in functional groups. Metamerism, Position isomerism, and Chain isomerism involve different types of structural differences but not specifically related to functional groups.

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.
