Which type of isomerism is shown by CH₃CH₂CHO and CH₃COCH₃?

CH₃CH₂CHO (propanal) and CH₃COCH₃ (acetone) have the same molecular formula (C₃H₆O) but different functional groups (aldehyde vs. ketone), indicating functional isomerism.

A compound C₅H₁₀O shows no reaction with sodium fusion followed by silver nitrate test. Which functional group is most l

No reaction with Lassaigne’s test indicates no halogens. CH₃CH₂COCH₂CH₃ (pentan-3-one) is a ketone consistent with C₅H₁₀O.

Which type of isomerism is exhibited by CH₃CH₂OH and CH₃OCH₃?

CH₃CH₂OH (ethanol) and CH₃OCH₃ (dimethyl ether) have the same molecular formula (C₂H₆O) but different functional groups (alcohol vs. ether), indicating functional isomerism.

Which compound exhibits chain isomerism with CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₃?

Chain isomerism involves different carbon skeletons. CH₃CH(CH₃)CH₃ (2-methylpropane) has the same molecular formula (C₄H₁₀) as n-butane but a branched structure.
