Answer:
propanone is sterically more hindered than propanal due to presence of alkyl group on
both side of carbonyl carbon making them
less reactive towards nucleophilic attack
both methyl group have electron releasing tendency due to -i effect . these alkyl group
make ketone less reactive by donating an
electron to a carbonyl group .

Answer: Propanone is sterically more hindered than propanal due to presence of alkyl group on both side of carbonyl carbon making them less reactive towards nucleophilic attack as both methyl group have electron releasing tendency due to +I effect. These alkyl group makes ketone less reactive by donating an electron to carbonyl carbon.
