Question

The compounds \( CH_3CH=CHCH_3 \) and \( CH_3CH_2CH=CH_2 \):

• A. are tautomers
• B. are position isomers
• C. contain the same number of sp\(^3\)-sp\(^3\), sp\(^3\)-sp\(^2\), and sp\(^2\)-sp\(^2\) carbon-carbon bonds
• D. are chain isomers

Hint:

Position isomers have the same functional group but at different positions in the carbon chain.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding isomerism.
- Position isomers have the same molecular formula but differ in the position of the functional group.
- The given compounds have the same molecular formula \( C_4H_8 \) but differ in the position of the double bond.
