Which type of isomerism is shown by propanal and propanone?

Question

Which type of isomerism is shown by propanal and propanone? (A) Functional group (B) Metamerism (C) Tautomerism (D) Chain isomerism

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

When two compounds have similar molecular formula but differ in the functional group then the isomerism is called functional group Isomerism i.e., CH3CH2CHO and CH3 overset underset||OCCH3
