Which type of isomerism is most common among ethers?

A)  Metamerism   

B)  Functional

C)  Chain        

D)  Position

Correct Answer: A

Solution :

 Ethers show metamerism. Metamerism arises when a polyvalent functional group (e.g. \[-O-,\]  etc.)  is attached to different alkyl groups but the molecular formula remains same e.g., \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}-O-{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\] and\[C{{H}_{3}}-O-{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{7}}\]
