Carbonyls

Postby Hector Acosta Discussion 1H » Fri Mar 16, 2018 3:07 pm

Can someone explain to me the relationship between aldehydes, ketones, and carbonyls?

carbonyls are C=O, and both ketones and aldehydes have a C=O bond

A carbonyl is a functional group with C double bonded to O. Aldehydes and ketones are both carbonyls. Aldehyde has the carbonyl group bonded with either one or two hydrogens. Ketone has the carbonyl group bonded with two carbons.
