Answer:
Formyl" refers to the substitution of a three atom HCO group onto a different carbon or other atom. ... So for example 3-oxopentanal has five carbons and eight hydrogens just like pentanal, but it has one extra oxygen atom, double bonded to carbon #3. This is a case where "oxo" refers to a ketone, not an aldehyde
