Assertion: Cyclohexanone exhibits keto-enol tautomerism. Reason: In cyclohexanone, one form contains the keto group (C= O) while other contains enolic group (-C= C-OH).

Question

Assertion: Cyclohexanone exhibits keto-enol tautomerism. Reason: In cyclohexanone, one form contains the keto group (>C= O) while other contains enolic group (-C= C-OH). (A) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion (B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion (C) If assertion is true but reason is false (D) If both assertion and reason are false

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

Q. Assertion : Cyclohexanone exhibits keto-enol tautomerism.
Reason : In cyclohexanone, one form contains the keto group $(> C = O)$ while other contains enolic group $(- C = C - O H) .$
