Q. Assertion : Nitroalkanes and alkyl nitrites exhibit functional isomerism.
Reason : Compounds having same molecular formula but different functional groups are called functional isomers.

Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution:

Functional isomerism can be shown by the compounds having same molecular formula but different functional groups and both nitroalkanes and alkyl nitrites have same molecular formula but differs in functional groups, thus exhibits functional isomerism.
