Methoxy methane and ethanol are

A

Functional isomers

B

Optical isomers

C

Position isomers

D

Chain isomers

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`CH_(3)OCH_(3)("Methoxy methane")CH_(3)CH_(2)OH("Ethanol1")]C_(2)H_(6)O`
Both compounds have the same molecular formula but possess different functional group . Methoxy mathane has -O- (ether group) whereas ethanol has - OH group. So , they are funictional isomer to each other.
