The type of isomerism exihibited by the compound with formula `C_(4)H_(10)O` is :

A

Chain and position

B

Functional and position

C

Metamerism

D

Chain, position, functional, and metamerism

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
D.U. in `C_(4)H_(10)O=((2n_(C)+2)-n_(H))/(2)=(10-10)/(2)=0`
It should be alcohol or ether.
(i) Alcohols and ethers are functional isomers.
ii. Alcohol shows position and chain isomerism.
iii. Ether shows position isomerism and metamerism.
So, the compound `(C_(4)H_(10)O)` shows chain, position, functional isomerisms, and metamerism.
