NEET Chemistry Isomerism MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 11

Which of the following combinations correctly describes different types of isomerism?

A

A) Structural isomerism involves different structural arrangements of the same molecular formula.

B

B) Geometric isomerism occurs due to the rotation around single bonds.

C

C) Optical isomerism involves compounds that are mirror images of each other.

D

D) Functional isomerism refers to isomers that differ in the functional groups present.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Statement A is correct as structural isomerism indeed involves different structural arrangements of the same molecular formula. Statement B is incorrect because geometric isomerism arises from restricted rotation around double bonds, not single bonds. Statement C is true, but it is not the main focus of the question. Statement D is also correct, but it does not reflect the unique nature of structural isomerism as highlighted in the context.
