(CH3)2CHCH(CH3)2 and (CH3)3CCH2CH3
|
|
|
CH3CH2OCH3 and (CH3)2CHOH

Detailed explanation-1: -The molecular formula, CH3CH2OCH3 consists of an ether functional group whereas the molecular formula, CH3CH2CH2OH consists of an alcohol functional group. It is observed that the above-given isomers differ in their functional groups. Thereby, they are referred to as functional isomers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Diethyl ether (CH3CH2OCH2CH3) and butan-1-ol (CH3CH2CH2CH2OH) are constitutional isomers with the same molecular formula, however their boiling points are very different.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are three functional group isomers of which you need to be aware: alcohols and ethers. aldehydes and ketones. carboxylic acids and esters.
Detailed explanation-4: -CH3−CH2−CH2−C∣∣O−O−CH2CH3 and CH3−CH2−C∣∣O−OCH2CH2CH3 exhibit metamerism as they have same molecular formula C6H12O2 & differ in number of C− atoms on either side of functional group −C−O.
