Answer 2

Aromatic aldehydes are organic molecules having the –CHO functional group attached to an aromatic group. Aliphatic aldehydes are organic compounds which have no aromatic rings attached to the aldehyde group.

But, aliphatic aldehydes have no resonance stabilization. Therefore, the reactivity is very high.
