(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the given statement is true or false.
Keto and enol tautomers are constitutional isomers.
Concept Introduction:
A carbonyl compound that has a hydrogen on an a-carbon changes its form to enol through resonance. Both the form stays in equilibrium.
Constitutional isomers are those where the molecular formula for both the compound is same but the bond connectivity differs.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the given statement is true or false.
For a pair of keto-enol tautomers, the keto form generally predominates.
Concept Introduction:
A carbonyl compound that has a hydrogen on an a-carbon changes its form to enol through resonance. Both the form stays in equilibrium.
Constitutional isomers are those where the molecular formula for both the compound is same but the bond connectivity differs.
