What is Aldehydes and Ketones Overview about?
Aldehydes and ketones contain a carbonyl group consisting of a carbon double-bonded to an oxygen. Aldehydes have one alkyl group and one hydrogen bonded to the carbonyl carbon, while ketones have two alkyl groups. The carbonyl carbon is electrophilic and readily reacts with nucleophiles. Aldehydes and ketones have higher boiling points than hydrocarbons due to polarity but lower than alcohols due to the lack of hydrogen bonding.
