Question
The pair of molecules that are metamers among the following is:
Options
A.${CH}_{3}{CH}_{2}{CH}_{2}OH$ and ${CH}_{3} - CH(OH) - {CH}_{3}$
B.${CH}_{3}{CH}_{2}{CH}_{2}{CH}_{2}{CH}_{3}$ and $\left( {CH}_{3} \right)_{2}{CHCH}_{2}{CH}_{3}$
C.
D.${CH}_{3}{OCH}_{2}{CH}_{2}{CH}_{3}$ and ${CH}_{3}{CH}_{2}{OCH}_{2}{CH}_{3}$
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Metamerism — same functional group, different alkyl groups]
Metamerism arises due to different alkyl chains on either side of the functional group in the molecule pair of molecules ${CH}_{3}{OCH}_{2}{CH}_{2}{CH}_{3}$ and ${CH}_{3}{CH}_{2}{OCH}_{2}{CH}_{3}$ are metamers of each other.
