Question

CH₃−CH₂−NH−CH₂−CH₃ and CH₃−NH−CH₂−CH₂−CH₃ exhibits which isomerism​

Answer 1

Answer:

They both Shows Position Isomerism .

Answer 2

Answer:

=> The type of isomerism exhibited by both these molecules is Metamerism.

=> So, these compounds are Metamers.

Explanation:

=> First, both these molecules are amines, as each of them was made by replacing two hydrogen atoms in an Ammonia molecule.

=> The Nitrogen atom in both these molecules is bonded to two other carbon atoms, so both are secondary amines or two degree amines.

=> Both of them have the same molecular formula of C4 H11 N but different structural formula.

=> The functional group in both molecules is "amine" .

=> You will notice that the number of carbon atoms on either side of the primary functional group is different, i.e. in the first molecule, there are two carbon atoms (Ethyl Group) on either side of the Amine group, while in the second molecule, there is one carbon atom on the left side (Methyl group) and 3 carbon atoms on the right side (Propyl group) .

=> This type of isomerism is called "Metamerism".

More To Know:

=> The IUPAC name of the first amine is: N-Ethylethanamine.

=> The IUPAC name of the second amine is: N-Methyl-1-propanamine

=> Amines are known for their basic nature, as, like Ammonia, the nitrogen atom also has a lone pair, thus they are proton acceptors.
