Aldehydes and ketones are organic compounds which incorporate a carbonyl functional group, C=O. The carbon atom of this group has two remaining bonds that may be occupied by hydrogen or alkyl or aryl substituents. If at least one of these substituents is hydrogen, the compound is analdehyde.

both aldehyde and ketone are functional group.
the difference between aldehyde and ketone is presence of hydrogen atom attached to a carbonoxygen double bondin the aldehyde. ketons dont have that hydrogen.the presence of that hydrogen atom makes aldehyde very easy to oxidise.
