Q. Isopropyl alcohol and n-propyl alcohols are the example of:

BHUBHU 2002

Solution:

Tautomerism : lt is characteristic of compounds having labile hydrogen atom. The two isomers cannot be separated. e. g., nitro compounds.
Chain isomerism : The two isomers differ in carbon skeleton.
Position isomerism : The position of functional group or substituent group or double or triple bond is different. e. g., $n$-propyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol.
$\underset{\text{n-propyl alcohol}}{CH _{3}- CH _{2}- \overset{\underset{|}{O}H}{CH _{2}} }\,\,\,\, \underset{\text{Isopropyl alcohol}}{CH _{3}- \overset{\underset{|}{O}H}{CH }CH _{3}}$
Geometrical isomerism : It is exhibited by compounds having double bond and the two groups attached to two carbon atoms are different.
