Compare th relative acidic strengths of hydroxyl amine and am oxime.

Answer»

Solution :Both contain group in their molecules and are expectedto be WEAKLY acidic. However, oxime is actually more acidic. Infact, hydroxyl amine after losing a PROTON forms a CONJUGATE base in which NEGATIVE charge is localised only on the oxygen atom.

However, in case of oxime, the negative charge gets delocalished by extending `pi` electron BONDING.
