NEET Chemistry Isomerism MCQ Question
Which of the following combinations correctly describes different types of isomerism?
A) Structural isomerism involves different structural arrangements of the same molecular formula.
B) Geometric isomerism occurs due to the rotation around single bonds.
C) Optical isomerism involves compounds that are mirror images of each other.
D) Functional isomerism refers to isomers that differ in the functional groups present.
Correct Answer
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.
