The minimum number of carbon atom present in the ketone compound is 3.

Explanation:

  • Ketone primarily consists of a carboxyl group. This group is just a carbon atom which is in double bond with an oxygen atom.
  • If the carbon of the particular carboxyl group present is in bonding with two other carbon atoms at either side, then the compound is known as a ketone.
  • Their naming is done in the same way as the naming of the alkenes is down and the only difference between them is that the ketones always end with 'one'.
  • The carboxyl group location can be identified in the particular ketone by naming the longest chain of carbon which means that the certain carboxyl group is present in the lowest carbon chain.
