Acetaldehyde and ketone form addition product with:
Correct answer: D. Hydrogen cyanid
- A. Phenyl hydrazine
- B. Hydrazine
- C. Hydroxylamine
- D. Hydrogen cyanid
Explanation
All others form addition elimination product.when acetaldehyde or ketones react with hydrogen cyanide, something cool happens. The hydrogen cyanide molecule adds across the carbonyl group of the aldehyde or ketone. This leads to the formation of a new compound called a cyanohydrin. It's like the hydrogen cyanide is joining forces with the aldehyde or ketone to create this addition product.

About Aldehydes and Ketones
Aldehydes and ketones contain the polar carbonyl group, but aldehydes are generally more readily oxidised and more reactive than ketones. Coverage includes preparation by oxidation or reduction routes, nucleophilic addition of reagents such as hydrogen cyanide and bisulfite, and tests that distinguish aldehydes from ketones.
