MCQ
The given structures, $\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{CH}_3\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\\\text{CH}_3-\text{CH}-\text{CH}_3$ and $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3$ are :
  • A
    Conformational isomers.
  • Chain isomers.
  • C
    Position isomers.
  • D
    Functional isomers.

Answer

Correct option: B.
Chain isomers.
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{CH}_3\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\\\text{CH}_3-\text{CH}-\text{CH}_3,\ \text{CH}_3-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_3\\ \ \ \ \ _{2-\text{methylpropane}} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ _{\text{n-butane}}$
Molecular formula $\rightarrow$ Same
Chain of $C-$ atom $\rightarrow$ Different
Hence, these are chain isomers.
