Alcohols undergo
Aldehyde undergoes oxidation to give carboxylic acid as the product while ketone does not undergo oxidation reaction.
Tollen’s test:
This is also known as silver mirror test. The reagent that is used in Tollen’s test is silver nitrate and ammonia in water. Aldehyde reacts with Tollen’s reagent, where the silver ion is reduced to silver metal and the aldehyde is oxidized to carboxylic acid.
Ketone does not undergo Tollen’s test to deposit silver metal.
