Questions and Answers

What is the defining characteristic of positional isomers?

  • They have different molecular formulas and different positions of a substituent on the chain
  • They have the same molecular formula and the same position of a substituent on the chain
  • They have the same molecular formula but differ in the position of a substituent on the chain (correct)
  • They have different molecular formulas but the same position of a substituent on the chain
  • What distinguishes functional isomers from other isomers?

  • They have the same molecular formula but belong to different classes of organic compounds (correct)
  • They have different molecular formulas and belong to different classes of organic compounds
  • They have different molecular formulas but belong to the same class of organic compounds
  • They have the same molecular formula and belong to the same class of organic compounds
  • What is the main difference between chain isomerism and positional isomerism?

  • Chain isomerism involves different arrangements of the skeletal chain of carbon atoms, while positional isomerism involves different positions of substituents on the chain (correct)
