Compounds with same molecular formula but differing in their structure

1.	Compounds with same molecular formula but differing in their structure are said to be structural isomers. What type of structural isomerism is shown by…… CH_(3)-S -CH_(2)-CH_(2)-CH_(3) and CH_(3)-S - overset(overset(CH_(3))(\|))(C H)-CH_(3)
Answer» SOLUTION :These isomers containing same molecular formula `C_(4)H_(10)S`. And DIFFER in the position of the FUNCTIONAL group. So they are position isomers. Thus, May be reagrded as position isomers. They cannot be regarded as metamers since metamers have different no. of carbon atoms on either SIDE of the fun group. But has, the no. of carbon atom on either side of sulphur atom (fun group) is the same i.e. 1 and 3 (A) `CH_(3) - S - overset(1)(C )H_(2)- overset(2)(C )H_(2) - overset(3)(C )H_(3)` Methyl-n-propyl thioether or Methyl sulphoxy -n-propene (B) `CH_(3)- S - overset(overset(overset(1)(C H_(3)))(2\|))(CH)- overset(3)(C )H_(3)` Methyl sulphoxy-(2-methyl) propene or Iso propyl methyl thioether
