Tautomerism involves the transfer of _ ?
Correct answer: D. H-atom
- A. Electron
- B. Carbon atom
- C. Functional group
- D. H-atom
Explanation
Option A is wrong because tautomerism doesn't involve the transfer of electrons. It involves the transfer of hydrogen atoms. Option B is also wrong because tautomerism doesn't involve any transfer of any carbon atom. Option C is also wrong because there is no shifting of any functional group in tautomerism. In tautomerism, there is a shifting of hydrogen atoms. Option : D Tautomerism, is the existence of two or more chemical compounds that are capable of facile interconversion, in many cases merely exchanging a hydrogen atom between two other atoms, to either of which it forms a covalent bond(fact).

About Isomerism
Isomerism occurs when compounds have the same molecular formula but different atom arrangements or spatial orientations. The content includes chain, position, functional, metameric and tautomeric isomerism, along with geometrical and optical isomerism, including cis-trans forms, E/Z notation, chirality and enantiomers.
