Please post this type of questions in the HW section using the template.
actually my teacher told ketones don't but certain sites tel that they do...but few sites say that they dont? what's correct??
I have only heard of of this term applied to colour.Mohit656 said:Yes metamerism is shown by ketones.
The reason behind this is metamerism that is one type of isomerism in which compounds have same same molecular formula and functional group but different alkyl chains around the functional group . So ketone ether and also amine can show metamerism

Yes, ketones can exhibit metamerism under certain conditions.
Ketones can show metamerism when they have at least one methyl group (CH3) attached to the carbonyl carbon. This results in the formation of two or more isomers with the same molecular formula but different structures.
Metamerism and isomerism are both types of structural isomerism, but they differ in the location of the functional group. In metamerism, the functional group is located on a different carbon atom, while in isomerism, the functional group is located on the same carbon atom.
Ketones do not show metamerism if they do not have any methyl groups attached to the carbonyl carbon. This is because the presence of a methyl group is necessary for the formation of different structural isomers.
Yes, ketones can exhibit both metamerism and isomerism simultaneously. This occurs when a ketone has multiple methyl groups attached to the carbonyl carbon, resulting in the formation of both metamer and isomer compounds.
