An organic compound has the formula C4H10O. It reacts with metallic sodium liberating hydrogen.
Write down the formula of three possible isomers of the compound which are similar and react with sodium.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Isomeric compounds having molecular formula `C_4H_10O` can be alcohols or ethers.
Since the compounds react with sodium and evolve `H_2`, these cannot be ethers. Hence, the compounds are alcohols and the alcohols having molecular formula `C_4H_10O` are:
