Which of the following pairs of compounds are positional isomers?
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
\(CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-\overset{\underset{||}{O}}{C}-CH_3\) and \(CH_3-CH_2-\overset{\underset{||}{O}}{C}-CH_2-CH_3\) are the Position Isomers.
So, the correct option is (C).

Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques
Organic Chemistry is a subset of chemistry dealing with compounds of carbon. Therefore, we can say that Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds and is 200-225 years old. Carbon forms bond with itself to form long chains of hydrocarbons, e.g.CH4, methane and CH3-CH3 ethane. Carbon has the ability to form carbon-carbon bonds quite elaborately. Polymers like polyethylene is a linear chain where hundreds of CH2 are linked together.
