A

chain isomers

B

position isomers

C

functional isomers

D

metamers

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
They are dihalogen derivatives of ethane and differ in the position of two Cl's:
`underset("Ethylidene dichloride")(CH_(3)-underset(Cl)underset(|)(C)H-Cl)" "underset("Ethylene dichloride")(underset(Cl)underset(|)(C)H_(2)-underset(Cl)underset(|)(C)H_(2))`
