Compare th relative acidic strengths of hydroxyl amine and am oxime.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Both contain group in their molecules and are expected to be weakly acidic. However, oxime is actually more acidic. Infact, hydroxyl amine after losing a proton forms a conjugate base in which negative charge is localised only on the oxygen atom.

However, in case of oxime, the negative charge gets delocalished by extending `pi` electron bonding.
