Metamerism is a type of structural isomerism where compounds have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements due to the attachment of different alkyl groups to the same functional group, with the functional group positioned between the alkyl groups; examples include methoxypropane and ethyl methyl ether (both C4H10O), and N-methylpropylamine and N-ethyl-ethylamine (both C4H11N).

Nomenclature part 34Added:
next type of isomerism easier mechanism we have already done chain isomerism position like some ism and functionalism alright now next is your meta Marissa now what is my Thomas first we will understand mechanism compounds have a same molecular formula two or more compounds they have the same molecular formula but different structural form due to the attachment of different alkyl groups to the same functional groups are known as meta bars they can repeat when two or more compounds have the same molecular formula but different structural formula due to the attachment of listen carefully due to the attachment of different alkyl groups to the same functional group all right that means here the functional group will be the middle and on the either side the alkyl groups will be attached is different are known as meta Murs alright again I repeat the functional group will be in the middle the functional group will be in the middle and the alcohol suit is attached to the same functional group will be different or it does there well as metamours and the phenomena is known as meta medicine so here those compounds will shows metabolism whose functional group lies in between the two alkyl groups all right between the two and anchors whose function applies for example you can see if I like I am writing here ch3 ch2 ch2 ch3 what is this one s it talks see thing isn't it see it came now I can write this one as in this way also ch3o ch2 ch2 ch3 when I read it yes now you see it here what is that it is nothing but methoxy propane so what is that the alkyl now first you counted all right see whether it is same or not it should be same now it should be same so how many can be yeah yeah that is one two three four carbons four carbon hydrogen three two five two seven three ten ten oxygen it is something but one let us see here same thing or not four four carbons five plus five correct and one oxygen done so these two compounds are going to say molecule of copper I can see where the structure formation now it is different because alcohol suit is attached to it is different you say that it is the same you have to compare these to talk on you don't have to look at this you look about these two compounds understood so hence it is the different events of that similarly we can also write for secondary amide so I suppose what we do is that I will remove let us say n H all right and in throughout that instead of I will remove o and instead of that I write image so what is this it is nothing but it is a secondary a my second three of mine this one is so what is the name of this compound the name of this compound this n it high autonomy and the pile it high autonomy autonomy what is a formula c2h5 62 h5 and h.261 eh I have replaced one h by del calcio since and I will tell al Qaeda mind such as anytime in Halawa similar but you can see it is n makai and metastasis mitai prop on away because obvious root word means my excel number calculator so this prop on my it is proper money you can see that same thing here the molecular formula is the same c4h how many 3 to 5 5 to 5 50 levels c4h 11 and we can say that that is c4 h xi n so this and methyl propyl my in this way so they show me Thomas so they come at the meta that medicine in this way Interop mhm and also tale takes alpha you know it's also takes alpha all right it will from thioether we can say that suppose if I use your cell phone then it's ours that is in tocsy and sorry Tai Chi wake up he talks same thing it will be the tie suppose alpha here yes all right it I finally tell me cancel that clear the Tai Chi with her the name will be okay the name will vary here the name will change the fire eater understood here this die I die with her and there is meat eye Popeye hi winter meat I probably my little pig answer that okay so in this way the living will be done for metabolism next after that we'll come to the region and so medicine what our insurance offers retail experts means compounds having the same molecular formula but showing three compounds also as well as the chain compounds or so that means compounds having the same molecular formula but attachment of the carbon atom is different due to which it can show ray as the last chance of us I got a strange a also maybe some because man so what is the example we can give the example is this minute see your cyclo butane this one is cyclo butane we can see and here also we can write it the chain one is ch3 ch2 ch3 ch2 what is that butene now you say cyclo butane sir I am NOT able to count that carbon hydrogen okay do it one thing I put the carbon Idol then you can count it easily ch2 ch2 ch2 ch2 however it is c4h a hero so hundred C four three two five one six two eight zero wretched Rachel I so much cancer that clear in this way we can have so many we can have it so many more power we can have it like what it can do is that put here carbon carbon and here oxygen I put it all right it is oxygen so here carbonate ch2 ch2 and ch3 on it now you can write it in this way also but it clear now here it is ch3 I put a double bond here then CH then it is CH that Oh H now count it here three two five one six and six three of carbon and one oxygen here also same thing three carbon six hydrogen and one oxygen you can fold it so this is a nice one occitane this is a to me it is nothing but or you can also say you can also say that is one two three three carbon atoms you can also say 1/3 epoxy King Russell you can check propane one three epoxy frequency first and five minute epoxy 1/3 of see prevail or against oxygen and this one is nothing but prop one why not all you can put the double bond here also you can put it you can put it back on here also but it and you can write it here prop to anyone either you can write prop one in Milan or you can write prop two in one so what is it is these two compounds having the same molecular formula but this show ring as well as a chain compartes it is on the spot ring chain is so many some sorry so in this way that is we learned about metabolism we learned about range an isomerization thank you very much
