Document Summary

Aldehydes and ketones are compounds containing carbonyl ( c = o ) group. In aldehydes, the carbonyl group is linked either to two hydrogen atoms or to one hydrogen atom and one alkyl group. Aldehydes and ketones may be represented as: write the structure of aldehyde and ketone. (or) how are aldehydes and ketones. R c = o (where r = h or any alkyl group) R c = r (where r and r may be same or different alkyl groups) ketone: write the structure formula of the functional group aldehyde and ketone. The functional group of aldehyde is c = o. The functional group of ketones is c = o. Since both aldehydes and ketones contain the same carbonyl group, they have many similar chemical properties.
