Question

Isomerism exhibited by diols?

Answer 1

yes isomerism can exhibitied by diols

Answer 2

Answer

: it can demonstrate commonly optical isomerism.  

clarification :- really, diols is a natural compound in which two hydroxyl bunches are connected. additionally it is choral compound. since it can't superimposed on its perfect representation.  

be that as it may, it can't indicate metamerism. as we probably am aware, Compounds having the equivalent sub-atomic recipe yet unique number of carbon particles on either side of the useful gathering (i.e. – O– , – S– , – NH– and – CO– ) are called metamers and the marvel is called metamerism.  

Metamerism happens among the individuals from the equivalent homologous family.  

from above definition , obviously diol can't demonstrate metamerism. as diols have - OH.
