Yes, ethoxyethane and methoxypropane are isomers.

The structure for ethoxyethane is : CH3-CH2-O-CH2-CH3

The structure for methoxypropane is : CH3-O-CH2-CH2-CH3

The formula is the same, they both have 4 carbons, 10 hydrogens, and 1 oxygen.

The only difference is their structure. Therefore, they are indeed isomers.

No; yet while being structurally closely related [H3C-CH3 & H3C-CH2OH], they are two distinct chemical compounds.

no, structural isomers formation in alkane group starts from butane, but it has two confirmers, staggerd and eclipsed.

Is known as an Isomer.====Answer 2An isomer is a variation of a compound with a different chemical structure.Carbon, by itself, of course is an element and not a compound. Thus I believe that this is known as an allotrope of carbon and not an isomer. Graphite and diamond are allotropes of carbon as the arrangement of the atoms differs.


What is the technical name for ethanol?

The chemical name for ethanol is Ethyl Alcohol or Ethan-1-ol and it is member of the alcohol family. The chemical formula for ethanol can be written as C2H5OH, or as the alternative notation, CH3-CH2-OH. The latter expression tells you it's a straight-chain molecule, and it is also an expression of its structural formula.It's possible to write C2H6O, but that's an empirical formula. With only that, you'd be unable to tell ethanol from dimethyl ether, its isomer, as they are both written that way.Now you know what's in this compound and how the molecule is shaped. More can be learned by using the link to the Wikipedia article. It's posted below.
