Which pair is correctly labelled with its type of isomerism?

  1. A and : metamerism
  2. B and : position isomerism
  3. C and : functional isomerism
  4. D and : metamerism

Answer: D

Diethyl ether and methyl propyl ether are ethers with different alkyl groups on oxygen: metamers. Butan-1-ol and tert-butyl alcohol differ in carbon skeleton (chain isomerism), propanal and propanone are functional isomers, and nitroethane () and propanenitrile () are not even isomers.
