Aldehydes and ketones are organic compounds that contain a carbonyl group, C=O, and have distinctive properties and reactivity. The main difference between the two is that aldehydes have at least one hydrogen atom bonded to the carbonyl carbon, while ketones have two carbon atoms bonded to the carbonyl group.
Aldehydes
Aldehydes and ketones are found in many natural and synthetic compounds, and are used in perfumes, pharmaceuticals, and polymers. For example, ketones are used in the formation of acetophenone, which is responsible for the fragrances of cherry, jasmine, honeysuckle, almond, and strawberry
The carbonyl group is attached to a carbon atom at the end of a carbon chain. The generic condensed formula for aldehydes is RCHO.
An aldehyde is an organic compound in which the carbonyl group is attached to a carbon atom at the end of a carbon chain. A ketone is an organic compound in which the carbonyl group is attached to a carbon atom within the carbon chain. Aldehydes and ketones generally have lower boiling points than those of alcohols.
