In organic chemistry, a carbonyl group is a functional group composed of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom: C=O. It is common to several classes of organic compounds, as part of many larger functional groups. A compound containing a carbonyl group is often referred to as a carbonyl compound.
They can be found in several different functional groups, such as aldehydes, ketones, esters, and many more. A carbonyl group can increase the melting or boiling point of a compound. It's described as polar and reactive, and the negative and positive charges on a carbonyl contribute to polarity.
