The smallest ketone is CH 3 COCH 3 and the next homologue is CH 3 CH 2 COCH 3. These on reaction with NH 2 OH form the following oximes. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/4239a67e4e958187392c1c2b5791ef3a-.png" />

Q. The smallest ketone and its next homologue are reacted with $N H_{2} O H$ to form oxime.

Two different oximes are formed.

Three different oximes are formed.

Two oximes are optically active.

All oximes are optically active.

The smallest ketone is $C H_{3} COC H_{3}$ and the next homologue is $C H_{3} C H_{2} COC H_{3}$ . These on reaction with $N H_{2} O H$ form the following oximes.
