Which of the above compounds form pairs of metamers?
V and VI form pairs of metamers. (metamers of ethers). Here in compounds V and VI, the chain length is the same, but the distribution of carbons is different around oxygen atom.
Identify the pairs of compounds which are functional group isomers.
I and V, I and VI, I and VII, II and V, II and VI, II and VII, III and V, III and VI, III and VII, IV and V, IV and VI, IV and VII. Alcholol is the function group of each ether in the given seven compounds.
Identify the pairs of compounds that represent position isomerism.
I and II, III and IV, V and VI are the compounds which represent the position isomerism.
Position isomerism means where the length of the parent chain and functional group is the same, but the position of the functional group is different; then it is called position isomer.
