Tautomerism
\Tau*tom"er*ism\, n. [Gr. ?; ?, for ? ? the same + ?
part.] (Chem.)
The condition, quality, or relation of metameric substances,
or their respective derivatives, which are more or less
interchangeable, according as one form or the other is the
more stable. It is a special case of metamerism; thus, the
lactam and the lactim compounds exhibit tautomerism.
