Q. Statement 1: Cyclohexanone exhibits keto-enol tautomerism.
Statement 2: In cyclohexanone, one form contains the keto group while other contains enolic group $\left(-C = C - OH\right)$.

Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

Cyclohexanone exists in two readily interconvertible different structures leading to dynamic equilibrium known as tautomerism
