Consider the following pairs of compounds Of these pairs
Options
- Aboth X and Y are resonance forms
- Bboth X and Y are tautomeric forms
- CX is a resonance pair, while Y is a pair of tautomers
- DX is a pair of tautomers; while Y is a resonance pair
Correct answer
C. X is a resonance pair, while Y is a pair of tautomers
Step-by-step solution
In 'X' pair of compounds, delocalization of electrons occurs without the change in the relative position of bonded atoms (or nuclei). Hence, X is a resonance pair. In Y pair of compounds, shifting of proton H + occurs from N atom to O atom. Hence, 'Y' is a pair of tautomers.
