Answer:Aldehydes are generally more reactive than ketones in nucleophilic addition reactions due to steric and electronic reasons. Sterically, the presence of two relatively large substituents in ketones hinders the approach of nucleophile to carbonyl carbon than in aldehydes having only one such substituent.

Explanation:
. The nucleophilic addition reaction is the characteristic addition of carbonyl compounds. ... This is due to increase in the intensity of charge on carbon of carbonyl group due to +I-effect of alkyl groups. Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones and also steric factor decreases rate.
