Concept explainers

Aldehydes and Ketones

Aldehydes and ketones are organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C = O, as their functional group. They both differ in the placement of this carbonyl group in their structures.

Question

O ... aldehydes, but not ketones, can be reduced
O ... Tollen's reagent will oxidize a carbonyl C-H bond, but not a carbonyl C-C bond.
O ... Tollen's reagent is a reducing agent
O .. aldehydes are more difficult to oxidize than are ketones.
