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:
- 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.
List - I (Pair of Compounds) | List - II (Isomerism) |
---|---|
(A) n-propanol and Isopropanol | (I) Metamerism |
(B) Methoxypropane and ethoxyethane | (IV) Functional Isomerism |
(C) Propanone and propanal | (III) Position Isomerism |
(D) Neopentane and Isopentane | (II) Chain Isomerism |
