Ketones are sterically hindered than aldehydes, due to presence of alkyl group on both the side of the carbonyl carbon, making them less reactive towards nucleophilic attack.

1. In aldehyde there is more +ve charge on carbonyl carbon than ketones as carbonyl carbon in it receive + I from 2 sides.
2. Steric hindrance is more in ketone due to presence of carbon group on 2 sides of carbonyl group, due to which Nu- can't attack properly
