Define aldehydes ketones and carboxylic acid
Answers
Ello user !!!!!!!
Here is your answer,
====================================
An aldehyde is an organic compound containing a functional group with the structure −CHO, consisting of a carbonyl center (a carbon double-bonded to oxygen) with the carbon atom also bonded to hydrogen and to an R group, which is any generic alkyl or side chain.
Ketones (chemically known as ketone bodies) are byproducts of the breakdown of fatty acids. The breakdown of fat for fuel and the creation of ketones is a normal process for everyone.
A carboxylic acid is an organic compound that contains a carboxyl group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R–COOH, with R referring to the rest of the molecule.

HOPE THIS HELPS YOUU :)
AND STAY BLESSED.
Aldehydes- these are the groups joined by -CHO.
Ex- methanal, ethanal etc.
Ketones- these are the groups which are joined by -CO.
Ex- butanone, pentanone etc.
Carboxylic acid- these are groups that are joined by -COOH.
Ex- ethanoic acid, methanoic acid etc.
