Short Answer

Expert verified

Isomers of the given compound:


Step by step solution

01

Isomers

The given molecular formula is C2H6O. It has two isomers. It can exist in alcohol or ether forms. Isomers have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements of atoms.

02

Ethanol

The first isomer is ethanol:

It's alcohol that comes from ethane, where the -OH group replaces one H atom.

Its structure is


03

Methoxymethane

The second isomer is dimethyl ether:

It's an ether that has two methyl groups bonded to its oxygen atom.

It's the simplest ether known.
