In which of the following, functional group isomerism is not possible ?

A

Alcohols

B

Aldehydes

C

Alkyl halides

D

Cyanides

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Two or more compounds having the same molecular formula but different functional groups are called functional isomers.
Functional isomer of alcohol is ether.
Functional isomer of aldehyde is ketone.
functional isomer of cyanide of cyanide is isocyanide
However, alkyl halides do not show functional isomerism. Hence, option (c) is correct
