Question

-tell me the relation between compound a and b which type of isomerism is shown by them with respect to each other

Answer 1

what compounds?

Answer 2

i think they are structural isomers, so A.: Structural Isomerism

Answer 3

yes but whoch type of structural isomerism

Answer 4

Skeletal isomers

Answer 5

i mean chain isomerism ring chain isomerism tautomerism postion isomerism etc which one

Answer 6

skeletal means structure and i think it is the other name of structural isomerism rit??

Answer 7

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomer

They are structural/constitutional/skeletal isomers

Answer 8

i know that actually i m confused in ring chain iomerism(RCI) as the rings weere different and in chain isomerism(CI) as compound (a) root word is prop while compound (b) root word is is but..
just confused in RCI and CI

Answer 9

I'd go for CI

Answer 10

ok thnX..but why?? ans is correct but can u tell me why not RCI

Answer 11

Your welcome, I thought it was CI because there was a change in the main chain (prop/but), there was no permutation between a cyclic form and a linear form, RCI are always functional isomers and I don't see any functional Isomerism there (the root would have to be the same I think)

Answer 12

ok..

Answer 13

This is ring chain isomerism, It isn't generally referred as chain isomerism yes the main chain is changed but it changed in a ring not in a linear chain so its ring chain isomerism.
