Question

Given below are two statements:

Statement (I): Cyclopentane and pent-1-ene are isomeric compounds.

Statement (II): CH3CH2NH2\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{NH}_2 (ethylamine) and CH3NHCH3\text{CH}_3\text{NHCH}_3 (dimethylamine) are functional group isomers.

(a) Both Statement I and Statement II are false (b) Both Statement I and Statement II are true (c) Statement I is true but Statement II is false (d) Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Options
  1. a

    Both Statement I and Statement II are false

  2. b

    Both Statement I and Statement II are true

  3. c

    Statement I is true but Statement II is false

  4. d

    Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct Answerb

Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Detailed Solution

Statement I — Cyclopentane vs Pent-1-ene:

  • Cyclopentane: C5H10\text{C}_5\text{H}_{10} (cycloalkane)
  • Pent-1-ene: C5H10\text{C}_5\text{H}_{10} (alkene)

Same molecular formula, different structural types → ring-chain isomers → ✅ TRUE

Statement II — Ethylamine vs Dimethylamine:

  • CH3CH2NH2\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{NH}_2: primary amine (1°), formula C2H7N\text{C}_2\text{H}_7\text{N}
  • CH3NHCH3\text{CH}_3\text{NHCH}_3: secondary amine (2°), formula C2H7N\text{C}_2\text{H}_7\text{N}

Same molecular formula, different functional group type (1° vs 2° amine) → functional group isomers → ✅ TRUE

Answer: (b) Both statements are true
