The correct Answer is:
To determine the metamers among the given compounds with the molecular formula C₄H₁₀O, we first need to understand what metamers are. Metamers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the arrangement of atoms around a functional group, typically due to the presence of a bivalent atom like oxygen or sulfur. Now, let’s analyze the given compounds: 1. **Compound (i)**: `CH₃-O-CH₂CH₂CH₃` (This is an ether) 2. **Compound (ii)**: `CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OH` (This is an alcohol) 3. **Compound (iii)**: `CH₃-CH₂-O-CH₂-CH₃` (This is an ether) 4. **Compound (iv)**: `CH₃-CH(OH)-CH₂-CH₃` (This is an alcohol) ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Functional Groups**: - Compound (i) is an ether. - Compound (ii) is an alcohol. - Compound (iii) is an ether. - Compound (iv) is an alcohol. 2. **Check for Metamers**: - Metamers must have the same functional group and differ only in the position of the bivalent atom (in this case, oxygen). - **Comparing Compounds**: - **(i) and (iii)**: Both are ethers, and they differ in the arrangement of carbon chains around the oxygen. Therefore, they are metamers. - **(i) and (ii)**: Different functional groups (ether vs alcohol), so they are not metamers. - **(i) and (iv)**: Different functional groups (ether vs alcohol), so they are not metamers. - **(ii) and (iii)**: Different functional groups (alcohol vs ether), so they are not metamers. - **(ii) and (iv)**: Both are alcohols, but they have different structures, so they are not metamers. - **(iii) and (iv)**: Different functional groups (ether vs alcohol), so they are not metamers. 3. **Conclusion**: - The only pair of metamers among the given compounds is **(i) and (iii)**. ### Final Answer: The metamers from the given structures are **(i) and (iii)**.
