JEE Main Chemistry question

The molecular formula of a **saturated** compound is C₂H₄Br₂. This formula permits the existence of

(A)Functional isomers
(B)Optical isomers
(C)Positional isomersCorrect
(D)cis–trans isomers

Answer: (C)

Solution

Being saturated rules out any C=C bond (so no cis–trans isomerism). The two possible saturated structures, 1,1-dibromoethane (CH₃CHBr₂) and 1,2-dibromoethane
