AnswerClick to flip back
A
functional
💡 Explanation:
Alkenes and cycloalkanes have the same molecular formula (CnH2n). Since cycloalkanes do not behave as unsaturated hydrocarbons, alkenes and cycloalkanes are termed functional isomers. For instance, propene is isomeric with cyclopropane (or trimethylene).
