JEE PYQ: General Organic Chemistry Question 8
Question 8 - 2021 (18 Mar Shift 1)
Compound with molecular formula $\text{C}_3\text{H}_6\text{O}$ can show:
(1) Positional isomerism
(2) Both positional isomerism and metamerism
(3) Metamerism
(4) Functional group isomerism
Show Answer
Answer: (4)
Solution
$\text{C}_3\text{H}_6\text{O} \Rightarrow \text{CH}_3-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}=\text{O}$ (propanal) and $\text{CH}_3-\text{CO}-\text{CH}_3$ (acetone). They are functional group isomers.
