Answer 2

Ethanol (CH₃CH₂OH) and dimethyl ether (CH₃OCH₃) are best considered as Functional Isomers.

Structural Isomerism:

Compounds with a similar formula of molecules but different chemical structures.

Types of Structural Isomers:

• Chain isomerism: Compounds having a similar formula of molecules but a different arrangement of the main carbon chain. e.g. Pentane and 2-Methylbutane.

• Position isomerism: Compounds having a similar formula of molecules but different position is allocated to functional groups. e.g. 2-Bromopentane and 3-Bromopentane.

• Functional isomerism: Compounds having a similar formula of molecules but different functional groups attached are different. e.g. Ethanol and Dimethyl ether.

• Metamerism: Compounds having a similar formula of molecules but different alkyl groups are attached on sides of the main chain. e.g. Diethyl ether and Methyl propyl ether.
