Question

Diethyl ether ($C_2H_5-O-C_2H_5$) and methyl propyl ether ($CH_3-O-C_3H_7$) represent which type of structural isomerism?

Answer: C

💡 Solution & Explanation

Both molecules share the same molecular formula and the same polyvalent functional group (an ether oxygen, $-O-$). However, they have different alkyl groups attached to either side of the oxygen atom. This specific difference classifies them strictly as metamers.
