CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ and CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OH are examples of what are now termed: A)Conformational isomers B)Resonance structures C)Functional isomers D)Empirical isomers E)Constitutional isomers

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two examples provided differ in the way the atoms are connected, suggesting they are different compounds. These types of isomers are known as constitutional isomers. Conformational isomers refer to different spatial arrangements of the same molecule, resonance structures represent different ways of showing the same molecule using Lewis structures, functional isomers have different functional groups, and empirical isomers have the same molecular formula but different structures.
