The compound which shows metamerism is:
Multiple Choice Options
- A C 4 H 10 O
- B C 5 H 12
- C C 3 H 8 O
- D C 3 H 6 O
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Metamerism compound which have
same molecular formula but different
number of carbon atoms on either sides of functional group are known as
metamers and this phenomenon is
known as metamerism .
Compounds with formula C 4 H 10 O has ether functional group in
which following arrangements
are possible. So, it shows
metamerism. For example
CH 3 - CH 2 - O - CH 2 - CH 3 ,
and CH 3 - O - CH 2 - CH 2 - CH 3 are metamers as structure of alkyl chains are different around the functional group.
