• 5

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

There are 3-metameric ether that are represented by the molecular formula C₄H₁₀O, which are as follows:

\[\ce{\underset{\text{Methoxypropane}}{CH3OCH2CH2CH3}, \underset{\text{Ethoxyethane}}{C2H5O C2H5}}\], \[\begin{array}{cc}\phantom{..}\ce{CH3}\\
|\\\ce{CH3 - O - CH}\\\phantom{.}|\\\phantom{........}\ce{\underset{\text{2-methoxypropane}}{CH3}}\end{array}\]
