Answer:
hcho has hydrogen bonded to it with c=o group whereas in benzaldehyde it is replaced with c6h5 since h is less bulkier in mass it undergoes oxidation while benzaldehyde undergoes reduction
Explanation:
c6h5cho c6h5 molecular mass 77
hcho h molecular mass 1

Answer:
you are wrongg
Explanation:
the compound which gets oxidised and reduced depends on reactivity of carbonyl
reactivity directly proportional to electron deficiency
less reactive gets reduced and more active gets oxidised
here formaldehyde is less reactive so it gets reduced
