Alcohols with molecular formula C n H 2 n + 2 O are isomeric with

Alcohols with molecular formula CnH2n+2O are isomeric with
  1. Acids
  2. Ethers
  3. Esters
  4. Aldehydes

Solution

Alcohols have the molecular formula as CnH2n+2O. They do not have any unsaturation. The carboxylic acids have the unsaturation with two oxygen atoms. Ether does not have the unsaturation with one oxygen. Ethers also have the unsaturation with two oxygen atoms. Aldehydes have the unsaturation with one oxygen.

Hence, alcohols with molecular formula CnH2n+2O are isomeric with ethers.
