Answer» Metamerism arises due to different alkyl chains on either side of the functional group in the molecule. In the given structure V and VI or VI and VII form a pair of metamers because they differ in carbon atoms on the either side of the functional group, i.e., O-atom. `{:(V. CH_(3) - CH_(2) - O - CH_(2) - CH_(3)" ethoxy ethane"),(VI. CH_(3) - O - CH_(2) - CH_(2) - CH_(3) " methoxy propane"):} } "Metamers"` `{:(VI. CH_(3) - O - CH_(2) - CH_(2) - CH_(3) " methoxy propane"),(VII. CH_(3) - O - underset(underset(CH_(3))(|))(CH) - CH_(3) " methoxy isopropane" ):} } "Metamers"` |
