The smallest ketone and its next homologue are reacted with `NH_2OH` to form oxime.

A

Two different oximes are formed

B

Three different oximes are formed

C

Two oximes are optically active

D

All oximes are optically active

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The smallest ketone is acetone thus, next higher homologue possible is butanone. Acetone on reaction with hydroxylamine forms one oxime, while in case of butanone two different oximes would be possible.
