An organic compound of molecular formula `C_(3)H_(5)O` did not give a silver mirror with Tollen's reagent, but gave an oxime with hydroxylamine, it may be

Options

A. `CH_(3)-CO-CH_(3)`
B. `C_(2)H_(5)CHO`
C. `CH_(2)=CH-CH_(2)-OH`
D. `CH_(3)-O-CH=CH_(2)`

Answer

A

Explanation

(I) Organic compound `(C_(3)H_(5)O)` gave an oxime with hydroxyl amine, therefore, it must be an adledhyde or keton.
(II) Organic compound `(C_(3)H_(6)D)` did not give silver mirror with Tollens' reagent, therefore, it cannot be an aldehyde. Therefore, compound is keton and its molecules formula will be `CH_(3)COCH_(3)`
