Q. Which type of isomerism is most common among ethers?

ManipalManipal 2003

Solution:

Ethers show metamerism. Metamerism arises when a polyvalent functional group image is attached to different alkyl groups but the molecular formula remains same e. g .
$C _{2} H _{5}- O - C _{2} H _{5}$ and $CH _{3}- O - C _{3} H _{7}$
