Which of the following are not functional isomers of each other?a)CH3C...
Functional isomers are structural isomers that have the same molecular formula (that is, the same number of atoms of the same elements), but the atoms are connected in different ways so that the groupings are dissimilar or different functional groups.
10 amine to different 10 amines are not functional isomers.
Hence, option ′d′ is the answer.

Understanding Functional Isomers
Functional isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the functional groups present. This results in different chemical properties, despite having the same number of atoms of each element.
Option Analysis
- a) CH3CH2NO2 and CH3CH2ON=O
- Both compounds have the same molecular formula (C2H5NO2) but differ in functional groups (nitro vs. nitroso). They are functional isomers.
- b) C2H5CHO and CH3COCH3
- These compounds also share the same molecular formula (C2H4O) but differ in functional groups (aldehyde vs. ketone). They are functional isomers.
- c) CH3CH2NH2 and CH3NHCH3
- Both have the same molecular formula (C2H7N) and vary in their nitrogen connections (primary amine vs. secondary amine). They are functional isomers.
Option D: C3H7NH2 and (CH3)2CHNH2
- Molecular Formula Comparison
- C3H7NH2 refers to n-propylamine and is a primary amine.
- (CH3)2CHNH2 refers to isopropylamine and is also a primary amine.
- Functional Groups
- Both compounds contain the same functional group (primary amine) and have the same molecular formula (C3H9N).
Conclusion
- Since both C3H7NH2 and (CH3)2CHNH2 have the same functional group and molecular formula, they are not functional isomers of each other. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
