What is Nucleophilic Addition in Aldehydes & Ketones about?

Aldehydes and ketones undergo nucleophilic addition reactions, where a nucleophile donates electrons to the carbonyl carbon, resulting in the formation of a single bond and an -OH group on the oxygen. The process varies slightly under acidic conditions, where a proton first attaches to the oxygen, making the carbonyl more reactive to nucleophiles. Both scenarios lead to similar outcomes, with the carbonyl oxygen becoming an -OH group after the nucleophile
