Question

Why aldehydes are more reactivity then ketone?Give reason.



​

Answer 1

Answer:

Aldehydes are typically more reactive than ketones due to the following factors. ... The carbonyl carbon in aldehydes generally has more partial positive charge than in ketones due to the electron-donating nature of alkyl groups. Aldehydes only have one e- donor group while ketones have two.

Answer 2

Answer:

Aldehydes are usually more reactive toward nucleophilic substitutions than ketones because of both steric and electronic effects. In aldehydes, the relatively small hydrogen atom is attached to one side of the carbonyl group, while a larger R group is affixed to the other side.
