Aldehyde acts as_ when treated with Fehling's solution.
Correct answer: A. Reducing agent only
- A. Reducing agent only
- B. Oxidizing agent only
- C. Both A and B
- D. Neither A nor B
Explanation
Aldehyde reduces Cu(oh)2 to Cu2O, we know so by calculating the oxidation state of Cu which changes from +2 to +1.

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.
