Which type of isomerism is most common among ethers?

A)  Metamerism   

B)  Functional           

C)  Chain          

D)  Position              

Correct Answer: A

Solution :

                Ethers show metamerism. Metamerism arises. when a polyvalent functional group (e.g. \[-O-\], etc.) is attached to different alkyl groups but the molecular formula remains same e.g., \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}-O-{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\] and \[C{{H}_{3}}-O-{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{7}}\]
