Explanation:
Whenever a specific sequence of atoms are added to an organic compound it is known as a functional group. The function group C = O is known as the ketone functional group.
If the functional group consists of OH - C = O, it is known as carboxylic acid. When the functional group is CH = O, it is known as the aldehyde functional group.
The difference between aldehyde and ketone is that aldehyde stay in the end of the chain whereas ketone stay elsewhere. When the functional group has -OH bond it is known as alcohol.
