Question
Explain metamerism with suitable examples of ethers
Solution
The property in which ethers have same molecular formula but different alkyl groups in their structures is called metamerism and the isomers obtained are called as metamers.
Examples :
e.g. C2H5 - O - C2H5 - Diethyl ether;
CH3 - O - C3H7 - Methyl n-propyl ether
In the above example both ethers are having same molecular formula i.e. C4H10 but different alkyl groups in their structure, so they are metamers of each other.
