1.The reason lies in the fact that the Inductive effect produced by two alkyl groups (i.e.+I) to a carbonyl group is greater than only one or no (e.g. formaldehyde) and oxygen being more electronegative, pulls electron density from the carbon, which in turn increases the election density on Oxygen. And positive charge on carbon.
2.Since, Dipole moment is directly proportional to the charge on the respective atoms, Ketones have a higher dipole moment than aldehydes.
