The structure changes in tautomers i.e. a proton leaving a carbon bond and attaching to a ketone group.
Resonance is the concept that electron density is sometimes shared between multiple bonds. In a Lewis structure, this can be expressed as double bonds swapping between two oxygens or two different set bonding set ups have Oxygen or Nitrogen bearing a formal charge.
For the actual measurement of bonds, the bond lengths between multiple resonating bonds tend to be an intermediate length between double and single bonds. This supports the idea that electron density is shared between several bonds in a resonating molecule. Benzene bonds are a good example of intermediate bond lengths due to resonance.
In Tautomerism the alpha-hydrogen is shifted where as in Resonance the PI electrons are delocalised to loss more energy and to get stability.

How do alkenes show geometric isomerism?
all the non terminal straight chain alkenes show the geometrical isomerism..
What is the cause of cis trans isomerism?
the lack of rotation of the double bond
Which type of isomerism show shifting of proton also give suitable example?
Tautomeric isomerism shows the shifting of a proton. This occurs when a compound can rapidly interconvert between two forms by moving a proton. For example, the keto-enol tautomeric isomerism of cyclohexane-1,3-dione, which can exist as both a keto form and an enol form by interchanging the positions of the hydrogen atom and the double bond.
What is Differentiate between polymorphism and isomerism?
Polymorphism and Allotropy are same thing. Polymorphism is used for compounds and the allotropy is reserved for elements. You can go for XRD to check the crystal structure and their composition to distinguish.
Why is isomerism not found in propane?
Isomerism is a phenomenon where compounds have the same chemical formula but different structural arrangements. Propane (C3H8) consists of three carbon atoms bonded in a straight chain with eight hydrogen atoms attached. Since there are no other possible ways to arrange the carbon atoms, propane does not exhibit isomerism.
What is the difference between isomers and isomerism?
a fart
What are the possible isomers of CH3COH?
CH3CH2CHO (propanal) and CH3COCH3 (propanone) are functional isomers as they differ in the functional group.
What is meant by isomerism and what are the types of isomerism?
Isomerism is the phenomenon in which two or more compounds have same molecular formula but their structural formula is different. The compounds are called Isomers.There are 2 types of isomerism.1) Structural Isomerism which is further classied into 5 more types of isomerisms:i) Chain Isomerism which is due to difference in nature or the carbon chain e.g. isopentane, neopentane or n-pentaneii) Position isomerism which is due to the difference in position of the functional group or unsaturated linkage in the same carbon chain. e.g. 1-Chloropropane is the isomer or 2-chloropropane or another example is 1-butene which is isomer of 2-buteneiii) Functional group isomerism in which there are different functional group but same molecular formula. e.g. dimethyl ether is functional group isomer of ethyl alcoholiv) Metamerism is due to the unequal distribution of carbon atoms on either side of the functional group and such compounds belong to same homologous series. e.g. diethyl ether and methyl n-propyl ether are metamers.dietheyl ether: CH3 - CH2 - O - CH2 - CH3methyl n-propyl: CH3 - O - CH2 - CH2 - CH3v) Tautomerism due to shifting of proton from one atom to other in the same molecule.The 2nd type of isomerism is Cis-trans Isomerism or geometric isomerism and compounds who possess same structural formula but differ with respect to the positions of the identical groups in space are called cis-trans isomers and the phenomenon is cis-trans or geometric isomerism.
Why does tautomerism occur?
Because it can
What is the difference between positional isomerism and functional isomerism?
structural isomer explain the change in the arrangement of atoms around carbon atom even normal or iso-structure. But the functional isomer show the change in the functional group of compounds
What is the another name of geometric isomers?
Geometric isomerism also known as cis-trans isomerism or E-Z isomerism
Will p-benzoquinone show tautomerism?
yes:
Is cis-trans isomerism included in geometrical isomerism?
The geometrical isomerism is mainly Cis-trans isomerism but in some cases we use another term Z and E isomers, they are almost same.
What is the differences between benzene ring and chain like structures-?
In chain isomerism, or skeletal isomerism, components of the (usually carbon) skeleton ... substituents can be positioned on different parts of the benzene ring. ... are structural isomers that have different functional groups like alcohol and ether.
Why does a tetrahedral complex of the type MA2B2 not show geometrical isomerism?
For Geometrical isomerism the free rotation about the bonds should be restricted so a double bonded or cyclic compound may show the geometrical isomerism.
Does isomerism exist in disaccharides?
Yes
