Propyl iodide and isopropyl iodide are:

(A)Functional isomers
(B)Chain isomers
(C)Metamers
(D)Position isomersCorrect

Answer: (D)

Solution

Both 1-iodopropane and 2-iodopropane share the same molecular formula () and the same carbon skeleton (an unbranched three-carbon chain) and the same functional group (iodide); they differ only in which carbon of that chain bears the iodine atom.
