About Aldehydes and Ketones, Download Notes
What Is Aldehydes?
Aldehydes are compounds that have a carbonyl group attached to a terminal carbon atom, that is, a carbon atom at the end of a carbon chain. The general formula of aldehydes is RCHO, where R is a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group. For example, formaldehyde (HCHO), acetaldehyde (CH3CHO), and benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO) are aldehydes.
What Is Ketones?
Ketones are compounds that have a carbonyl group attached to an internal carbon atom, that is, a carbon atom within the carbon chain. The general formula of ketones is RCOR', where R and R' are hydrocarbon groups. For example, acetone (CH3COCH3), propanone (CH3COCH2CH3), and acetophenone (C6H5COCH3) are ketones.
