Vedclass · Answer

(B) Metamers are isomers that have the same molecular formula but differ in the distribution of alkyl groups on either side of the functional group (in this case,the ether oxygen atom).Diethyl ether has the formula $C_2H_5-O-C_2H_5$ (molecular formula $C_4H_{10}O$).$2-$Methoxypropane has the formula $CH_3-O-CH(CH_3)_2$ (molecular formula $C_4H_{10}O$).Since both compounds have the same molecular formula but different alkyl groups attached to the oxygen atom (ethyl-ethyl in diethyl ether vs. methyl-isopropyl in $2-$methoxypropane),they are metamers.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(A)$ One or more hydroxyl $(-OH)$ groups are directly attached to the carbon of an aliphatic system.	$(1)$ Water
$(B)$ $-OH$ group is directly attached to the carbon of an aromatic system.	$(2)$ Phenol
$(C)$ Alkyl or aryl group replaces the $H$ of the $-OH$ group of alcohol or phenol.	$(3)$ Ether
$(D)$ Hydrogen replaces the $-R$ group of alcohol.	$(4)$ Alcohol
	$(5)$ None
