Answer 2

CARBONYL COMPOUNDS -

• The compounds containing carbon and atom bonded by a double bond.
• It is considered as a divalent unit and shows characteristics of functional group properties.
• Carbonyl compounds include carboxylic acids, esters, aldehydes, ketones, quinones, amides.
• The chemical property of aldehyde and ketones is decided by the behavior of the carbonyl group.
• Aldehyde and ketone consist of the divalent unit of carbon and oxygen showing the presence of the carbonyl group.
• The Carbonyl group is attached to the alkyl or aryl group of the compound.
• The reactive group in aldehyde and ketone compounds is the carbonyl group.
