Assertion: Oximes are less acidic than hydroxyl amine. Reason: Oximes of aldehydes and ketones show geometrical isomerism.

Answer»

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
If assertion is true but reason is FALSE
If assertion is false but reason is true

Solution :Oximes are more acidic because, there is a delocalisation of `pi` electrons (i.e., resonance) and it stabilises it and its conjugate acid. But no such resonance exists in hydroxyl AMINE base `(NH_(2)O^(-))`
