Question

Write the structure and IUPAC name of the first three members of aldehyde and carboxylic acid

Answer 1

Answer:

The common names of aldehydes are taken from the names of the corresponding carboxylic acids: formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and so on. The common names of ketones, like those of ethers, consist of the names of the groups attached to the carbonyl group, followed by the word ketone.
