Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Functional group present in the given compound has to be identified and an isomer of the given compound with a different functional group has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Isomerism: Isomers are compounds with same molecular formula with different arrangements of atoms.
- • Structural isomers: They have same molecular formula but different bonding arrangements of atoms.
- • Stereoisomers: They differ in their spatial arrangement of atoms.
Functional group: They are certain substitutes in the organic molecules that determine the properties of the molecules and characteristic reactions taking place in it.
Ether: Ether is a group of organic compound where two aryl or alkyl groups are connected by an oxygen atom. It is represented as
Alcohol: It is an organic compound where it contains at least one
