The correct Answer is:
To determine in which of the following functional group isomerism is not possible, we need to analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Functional Group Isomerism**: Functional group isomerism occurs when two or more compounds have the same molecular formula but different functional groups. 2. **Analyzing Option A (Alcohol and Ether)**: - Alcohols (e.g., CH3CH2OH) and ethers (e.g., CH3OCH3) can have the same molecular formula (C2H6O). - Therefore, functional group isomerism is possible between alcohols and ethers. 3. **Analyzing Option B (Aldehyde and Ketone)**: - Aldehydes (e.g., CH3CHO) and ketones (e.g., CH3COCH3) can also share the same molecular formula (C3H6O). - Hence, functional group isomerism is possible between aldehydes and ketones. 4. **Analyzing Option C (Cyanide and Isocyanide)**: - Cyanides (e.g., CH3CN) and isocyanides (e.g., CH3N≡C) can have the same molecular formula (C2H5N). - Thus, functional group isomerism is possible between cyanides and isocyanides. 5. **Analyzing Option D (Alkyl Halide)**: - Alkyl halides (e.g., CH3CH2X, where X is a halogen) do not have a corresponding functional group that can form isomers with the same molecular formula. - Therefore, functional group isomerism is **not possible** with alkyl halides. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option D (Alkyl Halide)**, as it does not exhibit functional group isomerism with any other functional group. ### Final Answer: Functional group isomerism is not possible in **Option D (Alkyl Halide)**.

To determine in which of the following functional group isomerism is not possible, we need to analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Functional Group Isomerism**: Functional group isomerism occurs when two or more compounds have the same molecular formula but different functional groups. 2. **Analyzing Option A (Alcohol and Ether)**: ...
