NEET Chemistry (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 11
Consider a diagram of an organic molecule with a carbon chain and a functional group, which demonstrates metamerism. If the functional group is an ether, how would the structure differ if it displayed metamerism?
A
Different alkyl groups on either side of the oxygen atom.
B
Same alkyl group on both sides of the oxygen atom.
C
Different functional groups attached to the alkyl chains.
D
Identical carbon chain lengths on both sides of the oxygen atom.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Metamerism arises due to different alkyl chains on either side of the functional group, such as in ethers where the oxygen atom is the functional group.
