The type of isomerism that is not shown by alkyl halides is:
(4) Metamerism.
- In metamerism, there is a hetero atom present in the carbon chain and the chains on either side of it are different.
- The halide ion is not a part of the main chain in an alkyl halide but merely joined to it in a side chain.
- Hence, alkyl halides do not show metamerism.
