The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements are wrong, we need to analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze the First Statement:** - The first statement claims that metachlorobromobenzene is an isomer of metachlorobromochlorobenzene. - To check this, we need to draw both compounds: - **Metachlorobromobenzene**: This compound has a chlorine atom and a bromine atom on the benzene ring at the meta positions. - **Metachlorobromochlorobenzene**: This compound has two chlorine atoms and one bromine atom on the benzene ring. - Since both compounds have the same molecular formula and the same connectivity of atoms, they are not isomers. Therefore, the first statement is **wrong**. 2. **Analyze the Second Statement:** - The second statement claims that all alkenes show symmetrical isomerism. - This is incorrect because alkenes can exhibit geometrical isomerism (cis-trans isomerism) only when there are different groups attached to the double bond. For example, if we have an alkene with two identical groups, it cannot exhibit geometrical isomerism. - Therefore, the second statement is also **wrong**. 3. **Analyze the Third Statement:** - The third statement claims that dimethyl ether and ethanol are functional isomers. - Dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) and ethanol (C2H5OH) have the same molecular formula (C2H6O) but different functional groups (ether vs. alcohol). - Since they have different functional groups, this statement is **correct**. 4. **Analyze the Fourth Statement:** - The fourth statement claims that geometrical isomers have different physical properties. - Geometrical isomers (cis and trans forms) indeed have different physical properties such as boiling points and melting points due to their different spatial arrangements. - Therefore, this statement is also **correct**. ### Conclusion: - The wrong statements are: - **First Statement**: Metachlorobromobenzene is not an isomer of metachlorobromochlorobenzene. - **Second Statement**: Not all alkenes show symmetrical isomerism.
