Question

Which type of isomerism is most common among ethers? (A) Metamerism (B) Functional (C) Chain (D) Position

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Ethers show metamerism. Metamerism arises when a polyvalent functional group (e.g. etc.) is attached to different alkyl groups but the molecular formula remains same e.g., C2H5-O-C2H5 and CH3-O-C3H7
