What is the difference between the structure of an aldehyde and a ketone?

Answers

Answered by qadriashfaqahmed786

Explanation:

You will remember that the difference between an aldehyde and a ketone is the presence of a hydrogen atom attached to the carbon-oxygen double bond in the aldehyde. Ketones don't have that hydrogen. The presence of that hydrogen atom makes aldehydes very easy to oxidise.
