Chemistry Question on Organic Chemistry- Some Basic Principles and Techniques
CH2–C–CH3O and CH2–C–CH3O are
A
Resonating structures
B
Tautomers
C
Geometrical isomers
D
Optical isomers
Answer
Resonating structures
Explanation
Solution
The correct option is (A) : Resonating structures
Because they only differ in the location of the double bond, the supplied isomers are tautomers. Tautomers are isomers of a chemical that merely differ in the protons' and electrons' positions. The compound's carbon backbone has not altered.
