Question

Which of the following isomerism is shown by alcohols having two carbon atoms:
A) Position isomerism
B) Functional isomerism
C) Geometric Isomerism
D) Tautomerism
E) Metamerism

Which of the following isomerism is shown by alcohols having three or more carbon atoms:
A) Metamerism
B) Optical Isomerism
C) position isomerism
D) Functional isomerism
E) Tautomerism
​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.Alcohols with two or more carbon atoms can exhibit functional isomerism with ethers. Thus ethers and alcohols have the same molecular formula but have different functional groups, hence they are called functional isomers. Alcohols containing chiral centrescen exhibit enantiomerismor optical isomerism.

2.Alcohols with three or more carbon atoms can exhibit position isomerism. In this type of isomerism the position of the functional group i.e., the -OH group varies. In other words the carbon atoms to which the -OH group is attached is different.
