Reactions of carbonyl groups

The carbon atom has a partial positive charge, and the oxygen atom has a partially negative charge. Aldehydes are usually more reactive toward nucleophilic substitutions than ketones because of both steric and electronic effects. ... Thus, steric hindrance is less in aldehydes than in ketones.
