NEET Chemistry (general) MCQ Question
Which of the following statements regarding isomerism in hydrocarbons is correct?
Chain isomerism occurs when compounds have the same molecular formula but different carbon skeletons.
Position isomerism involves different functional groups attached at the same position on the carbon chain.
Geometrical isomerism arises from different spatial arrangements of groups around a double bond.
All structural isomers have the same physical and chemical properties.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Chain isomerism is described in the context of hydrocarbons where compounds with the same molecular formula can have different structures, as indicated in the NCERT context. Geometrical isomerism is also mentioned, but position isomerism does not pertain to functional groups at the same position.
