Match List I with List II.
List I List II.
A. Propanamine and N-Methylethanamine I. Metamers
B. Hexan-2-one and Hexan-3-one II. Positional isomers
C. Ethanamide and Hydroxyethanimine III. Functional isomers
D. o-nitrophenol and pnitrophenol IV. Tautomers
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :-
To identify the correct matches, examine the type of isomerism exhibited by each pair.
A. Propanamine and N-Methylethanamine
Propanamine: $$CH_3CH_2CH_2NH_2$$
N-Methylethanamine: $$CH_3CH_2NHCH_3$$
Both compounds have the same molecular formula but differ in the distribution of alkyl groups on either side of the polyvalent nitrogen atom. Therefore, they are metamers.
$$A \rightarrow I$$
B. Hexan-2-one and Hexan-3-one
Hexan-2-one: $$CH_3COCH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3$$
Hexan-3-one: $$CH_3CH_2COCH_2CH_2CH_3$$
The functional group remains the same, but its position changes from carbon-2 to carbon-3. Therefore, they are positional isomers.
$$B \rightarrow II$$
C. Ethanamide and Hydroxyethanimine
Ethanamide: $$CH_3CONH_2$$
Hydroxyethanimine: $$CH_3C(OH)=NH$$
These structures differ by migration of a proton and shifting of a double bond. Therefore, they are tautomers.
$$C \rightarrow IV$$
D. o-Nitrophenol and p-Nitrophenol
In these compounds, the nitro group occupies different positions on the benzene ring relative to the hydroxyl group.
The change is from ortho-position to para-position, so they are positional isomers.
$$D \rightarrow II$$
Hence, the correct matching is:
$$A \rightarrow I,\quad B \rightarrow II,\quad C \rightarrow IV,\quad D \rightarrow II$$
Therefore, the correct answer is
$$\boxed{A-I,;B-II,;C-IV,;D-II}$$
