Electromeric effect is defined as the movement of electrons from one atom to another in a molecule or a reaction. It is of two types - +E effect (positive electromeric effect) and -E effect (negative electromeric effect).
Explanation:
- +E Effect: In this effect, a group or an atom donates electron density to the neighboring atom or group. This effect is observed in electrophilic reactions.
- -E Effect: In this effect, a group or an atom withdraws electron density from the neighboring atom or group. This effect is observed in nucleophilic reactions.
Now, let's analyze the given options to identify which of them does not show electromeric effect:
a) Ethers: Ether is a neutral molecule and does not have any atom or group that can donate or withdraw electron density. Hence, it does not show any electromeric effect.
b) Ketones: In ketones, the carbonyl group (-C=O) shows -E effect due to the electronegativity of oxygen.
c) Aldehydes: In aldehydes, the carbonyl group (-C=O) shows +E effect due to the presence of an electron-donating alkyl group.
d) Alkenes: In alkenes, the double bond shows -E effect due to the presence of pi electrons.
Hence, the correct answer is option 'A' - Ethers.

Only organic compounds having a multiple bond ( a double or triple bond) between same or different atoms show electromeric effect in the presence of an attacking reagent.
so ethers doesn't show electromeric effect
