Why does the atmospheric concentration of non-methane hydrocarbons peak at 8:00 a.m., and then decrease throughout the day? b. Why does the atmospheric concentration of aldehydes peak at 1:00 p.m., and then decrease throughout the afternoon? c. Why does the atmospheric concentration of oxidants/PAN (PAN and peroxides are oxidants) peak at 3:00 p.m.?

Definition Definition Organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C=O, as their functional group. The carbonyl group in aldehydes is placed at the end of the molecular structure, which means the C=O is attached to one hydrogen atom and an alkyl group or a benzene ring. Just like all the other homologous series in organic chemistry, the naming of aldehydes uses the suffix “-al”. The general molecular formula is C n H 2n O.
