The type of isomerism existing in a compound of molecular formula C2H6O is:
Correct answer: A. Functional group
- A. Functional group
- B. Position
- C. Chain
- D. Metamerism
Explanation
In a compound with the molecular formula C2H6O, which corresponds to ethanol (CH3CH2OH) as well as dimethyl ether ( CH3-O-CH3), the type of isomerism that exists is functional group isomerism. Following groups of organic compounds are functional group isomers of each other;1- Alcohols and ethers2- Aldehydes and ketones3- Carboxylic acids and esters.

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.
