Correct answer: D. None of the above
- A. CH3CH2OH
- B. CH3OCH3
- C. Both a and b
- D. None of the above
Explanation
An isomer of C3H8O must contain three carbon atoms. Both CH3CH₂OH and CH₂OCH, have the molecular formula C₂H6O, so neither is an isomer of C3H8O.

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.
