The carbonyl compound which is attached with at least one H atom at one side is called as?
Correct answer: B. Aldehydes
- A. Ketones
- B. Aldehydes
- C. Ethers
- D. Alkyl halides
Explanation
Chemically, an 'aldehyde' is a compound containing a functional group with the structure −CHO, consisting of a carbonyl center (a carbon double-bonded to oxygen) with the carbon atom also bonded to hydrogen and to any generic alkyl or side chain R group. The functional group itself (i.e. without the "R" side chain) is known as an aldehyde or formyl group.

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.
