Q 1 :    

The compound which shows metamerism is          [2021]

  • C4H10O

     

  • C5H12

     

  • C3H8O

     

  • C3H6O

     

(1)

Metamerism occurs when the compound has different number of carbon atoms on either side of the functional group. Metamers of C4H10O:

CH3-O-CH2CH2CH3Methylpropyl etherCH3CH2-O-CH2CH3Diethyl ether



Q 2 :    

Which among the given molecules can exhibit tautomerism?          [2016]

[IMAGE 59]

  • III only

     

  • Both I and III

     

  • Both I and II

     

  • Both II and III

     

(1)

α-Hydrogen at bridge carbon never participate in tautomerism. Thus, only (III) exhibits tautomerism.

  • II and III

     

  • I, II and III

     

  • I and II

     

  • I and III

  • 9 sigma bonds and 1 pi-bond

     

  • 18 sigma bonds and 2 pi-bonds

     

  • 16 sigma bonds and 1 pi-bond

     

(3)

Enolic form of ethyl acetoacetate has 18 σ-bonds and 2π-bonds
