Question

Reactivity of carbonyl compounds towards nucleophilic addition

Answer 1

order of reactivity of carbonyl compounds towards nucleophilic addition         according to reactivity towards nucleophilic addition reaction: ... Compound  has lowest steric hinderance but low carbocation stability as well.

OR

Due to differences in electronegativities, the carbonyl group is polarized. 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

AND IF U DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS NUCLEOPHILIC ADDITION.....

here is the answer.....

In organic chemistry, a nucleophilic addition reaction is an addition reaction where a chemical compound with an electron-deficient or electrophilic double or triple bond, a π bond, reacts with electron-rich reactant, termed a nucleophile, with disappearance of the double bond and creation of two new single, or σ, bonds.....
