Carbonyl Functional Group

[Anthony Rosas 2K]

Is carbonyl the general name for the aldehyde and ketone functional groups or are aldehydes and ketones separate functional groups?

[Richard_4E]

A carbonyl functional group is just a carbon atom double bonded to an oxygen atom. It is a part of many other functional groups like ketone, aldehyde, and carboxylic acid. So yes, aldehydes and ketones are different functional groups that both contain the carbonyl functional group
