Answers (1)

(i), (iii) are correct.

Yes, ethylene chloride and ethylidene chloride are isomers: 

Explanation: Ethylene chloride and ethylidene chloride are position isomers, which means they have the same molecular formula, C2H4Cl2, but the chlorine atoms are positioned differently on the carbon.

Isomers are molecules or polyatomic ions that have the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms in space. There are two main forms of isomerism: structural isomerism and stereoisomerism.
