Question

general formula of aliphatic ketones​

Answer 1

Answer:

The general formula for a ketone is RC(=O)R' where R and R' are alkyl or aryl groups. IUPAC ketone functional group names contain "oxo" or "keto". Ketones are named by changing the -e on the end of the parent alkane name to -one.

Answer 2

Aliphatic ketones have the general formula R-CO-R'.

• Ketones are organic compounds which contain a carbonyl group in which the carbonyl carbon atom is covalently bonded to an oxygen atom by a double bond (C=O).
• The carbonyl carbon of the ketone is simultaneously bonded to two alkyl groups represented by 'R' and 'R'' in its general formula. The other two bonds are combined with an oxygen atom to form a carbonyl group.
• Ketones are also produced in the body as a by-product of fat metabolism. They are excreted through urine.
