Question

Q n butane and isobutane are
a) chain isomer
b) position isomer
c) functional isomer
d) both a and b
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Option a is the correct answer.

Explanation:

n-butane and Isobutane are chain isomers.

Chain isomers:

In chain isomers, the molecules have the same molecular formula but different arrangement of carbon atoms.

The carbon atoms can be positioned to give a branched chain without altering/changing the molecular formula.
