Identify whether the given statements are true or false.
Statement-I: When two or more compounds differ in the position of substituent atom or functional group on the carbon skeleton, they are called position isomers.
Statement-II: Propan-1-ol and Propan-2-ol are examples of position isomers.
-
A.
Both the statements are false.
-
B.
Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true.
-
C.
Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false.
-
D.
Both the statements are true.
Correct Answer:
D. Both the statements are true.
Explanation:
Statement-I is accurate because position isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula but different locations of functional groups or substituents on the carbon chain. Statement-II is also correct as Propan-1-ol and Propan-2-ol share the formula C3H8O but differ only in the placement of the hydroxyl (-OH) group on the first and second carbon atoms, respectively. Since both statements are factually sound, the correct option is that both statements are true.
