Question

Given below are two statements: Statement (I): \

are isomeric compounds.
Statement (II):

are functional group isomers.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
• B. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
• C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
• D. Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Hint:

Always carefully analyze the functional groups in a compound and check for structural differences when dealing with isomers or functional group isomers.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

• Statement (I) is incorrect because the compounds shown are not isomeric. Isomerism refers to different compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures or functional groups.
• Statement (II) is also incorrect because \( {NH}_2 \) and \( {NH} \) are not functional group isomers. Functional group isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in their functional groups. \( {NH}_2 \) is an amine group, while \( {NH} \) is an imine group, but they are not functional group isomers.

Therefore, both statements are false.
