Acetaldehyde and ethanol show _
Correct answer: D. Tautomerism
- A. Stereoisomerism
- B. Metamerism
- C. Positional isomerism
- D. Tautomerism
Explanation
Tautomerism Acetaldehyde and ethanol shows tautomerism.This type of isomerism arises due to shifting of proton from one atom to other in the same molecule Stereoisomerism is a form of isomerim in which molecules have the same molecular formula but sequence of bonded atoms (constitution),but different in three dimensional orientations of their atoms in space. Metamerism is a form of isomerism arises due to unequal distribution of carbon atoms on either side of the functional group. Position isomerism arises due to the difference in the position of the same functional group on the carbon chain.The arrangement of carbon atoms remain same.

About Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry begins with carbon compounds classified by carbon skeleton, saturation and functional group. Work includes identifying groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino, applying basic nomenclature, and distinguishing structural, geometric and optical isomers, where the same molecular formula does not necessarily mean the same structure or properties.
