The correct statement regarding a carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its
alpha-carbon, is
A
a carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon rapidly equilibrates with its corresponding enol and this process is known as aldehyde-ketone equilibration
B
a carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon rapidly equilibrates with its corresponding enol and this process is known as carbonylation
C
a carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon rapidly equilibrates with its corresponding enol and this process is known as keto-enol tautomerism
D
a carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon never equilibrates with its corresponding enol
Answer :
a carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon rapidly equilibrates with its corresponding enol and this process is known as keto-enol tautomerism
In \[C{{H}_{3}}\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}
O \\
\parallel
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{-C-}}\,C{{H}_{2}}\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}
O \\
\parallel
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{-C-}}\,C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{3}},\] \[-C{{H}_{2}}-\] group is flanked on both sides by electron- withdrawing groups and hence its hydrogens are most acidic. Once a carbanion is formed, it is stabilised due to resonance.

What are the hybridization and shapes of the following molecules?
$$\eqalign{
& \left( {\text{i}} \right)C{H_3}F \cr
& \left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)HC \equiv N \cr} $$
A
$$\left( {\text{i}} \right)s{p^2},$$ trigonal planar; $$\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)s{p^3},$$ tetrahedral
B
$$\left( {\text{i}} \right)s{p^3},$$ tetrahedral ; $$\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)sp,$$ linear
C
$$\left( {\text{i}} \right)sp,$$ linear ; $$\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)s{p^2},$$ trigonal planar
$${C_2}{H_2}$$ have acidic nature but it is less acidic than water. Phenol is more acidic than water due to resonance stabilisation of phenoxide ion. $${H_2}C{O_3}$$ is most acidic due to resonating stabilisation of carbonate ion $$\left( {CO_3^{2 - }} \right).$$
Thus, the correct order is
$${C_2}{H_2} < {H_2}O < phenol < {H_2}C{O_3}$$
