Vedclass · Answer

(C) Metamers are isomers that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature of alkyl groups attached to the same polyvalent functional group (like $-O-$,$-S-$,$-CO-$,$-NH-$,etc.).In option $(C)$,both compounds have the molecular formula $C_5H_{12}O$.$1.$ $CH_3-CH_2-O-CH(CH_3)_2$ (Ethyl isopropyl ether)$2.$ $CH_3-CH_2-O-CH_2-CH_2-CH_3$ (Ethyl n-propyl ether)Since the alkyl groups attached to the oxygen atom are different (isopropyl vs n-propyl),they are metamers.
