Q. Compounds with following formula will show $Cl$ | (i) $CH_{3}CH_{2}CHCH_{2}CH_{3}$ and (ii) $CH_{3}CH_{2}C - CH_{3}$ | | $Cl$ $CH_{3}$
A) Position and functional isomerism
B) Chain and positional isomerism
C) Chain and functional isomerism
D) None of the above combinations
Explanation
(b)
Isomeric substances that differ only in the arrangement of carbon atoms forming the base chain are known as chain isomers
$Cl$
|
$CH_{3}CH_{2}CHCH_{2}CH_{3}$ and $CH_{3} - {CH}_{2} - C - CH_{3}$
| |
$Cl$ $CH_{3}$
If the compound with the same molecular formula differ in the position of the same functional group on the identical base chain the compounds are called position isomers
