Question

carboxylic acid show ? 1 metamerism. 2 chain isomerism. 3 position isomerism 4 functional group isomerism​

Answer 1

Answer:

Carboxylic acid can exhibit following

types of isomerism:

Chain isomerism → Chain isomerism is

exhibited by the compounds which are made up of two or more carbon or other compounds with the same molecular formula but different atomic

arrangements, or branches.

E.g.- CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - COOH. =

|

CH3

|

CH3 - CH - COOH

Functional isomerism → In functional

isomerism, the isomer is an isomer with a different arrangement of atoms and also different functional groups.

E.g.- CH3 - CH2 - COOH CH3 -

COO - CH3
