Which one of the following compounds is an isomer of CH3CH2CH2CH2OH?
Correct answer: D. none of the above
- A. CH3CH2CH2OH
- B. CH3CH(OH)CH3
- C. CH3CH2CH2CHO
- D. none of the above
Explanation
1-butanol CH3CH2CH2CH2-OH has 4 C atoms. Whereas CH3CH2CH2-OH and CH3CH(OH)CH3 have 3 C atoms only. Isomers have same moleculer formula i.e. they should have same number of carbon atoms.

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.
