Q. The type of isomerism in the molecule of compounds $CH_{3}CH_{2}COCH_{2}CH_{3}\ and\ CH_{3}CHC(OH)CH_{2}CH_{3}$ is referred as:
A) Metamerism
B) Chain isomerism
C) Functional isomerism
D) Tautomerism
Explanation
(d)
$O$ $OH$
$||\$ $|$
$CH_{3}CH_{2} - C - CH_{2}CH_{3}\ \leftrightarrow CH_{3} - CH = C - CH_{2}CH_{3}$
