The smallest ketone and its next homologue are reacted with NH_(2)OH to form oxime

Answer»

two different OXIMES are formed
THREE different oximes are formed
two oximes are optically active
all oximes are optically active

Solution :The smallest ketone is acetone. It being a symmetrical ketone FORMS only ONE oxime. The next homologue of acetone is butanone. It being unsymmetrical forms to oximes, i.e., cis-and trans butanone oxime. Thus, in all, there are three oximes.
