Question

Explain Metamerism with suitable example? Write the bond line
formula of CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - CH3​

Answer 1

Answer:metamerism is a specific type of positional isomerism, which mainly occours by the different chains of alkyl groups in the two side of bivalent atom such like in case of ether (ROR), 2*AMINES, THIOETHER LIKE(RSR)

EXAMPLE, CH3COOH, AND C2H5OC2H5, BOTH CASE MOLECULAR WEIGHT ARE SAME BUT STRUCTURALLY DIFFERENT.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Different compounds with the same molecular formula and the same functional having unequal distribution of carbon atoms on either side of the functional group is called metamerism and the isomers are known as metamers. For example, Ethoxyethane

(CH_3 - CH_2-O-CH_2 CH_3) and methoxypropane (CH_3-O-CH_2 - CH_2 - CH_2) have the same molecular formula C_4 H_10O and the same functional group ether but have different distribution of carbon atoms attached to etheral oxygen. These are metamers of each other.
