Question

Which two compounds are isomers among the given options?

a) C2H4 and CH3OH
b) CH3OH and C2H6
c) CH3CH2CO2H and C2H6
d) CH3COCH2OH and C2H6

Answer 1

b) CH3OH and C2H6

Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements. CH3OH and C2H6 are isomers because they both have a molecular formula of C2H6O, but their arrangement of atoms is different. CH3OH is methanol, while C2H6 is ethane.
