Question

The functional group of ketone is
​

Answer 1

Answer:

In chemistry, a ketone /ˈkiːtoʊn/ is a functional group with the structure R2C=O, where R can be a variety of carbon-containing substituents. Ketones contain a carbonyl group (a carbon-oxygen double bond). The simplest ketone is acetone (R = R' = methyl), with the formula CH3C(O)CH3. Many ketones are of great importance in biology and in industry. Examples include many sugars (ketoses), many steroids (e.g., testosterone), and the solvent acetone.[1]

Answer 2

Ketone is itself a functional group.

• A Ketone is a functional group with a structure $R_{2}C=O$, where carbon and oxygen are identical and the R are the carbon chains joined from both sides of carbon.
• They are significant because their oxygen atom is bonded by a double bond on the carbon which has to be a chiral carbon atom.
• The common names for ketones are formed by naming both alkyl groups attached to the carbonyl then adding the suffix -ketone.
• Ketones take their name from their parent alkane chains. The ending -e is removed and replaced with -one.
