b.
To identify:
The given compound is an aldehyde or a ketone.
Introduction:
The carbonyl containing organic compounds are known as aldehydes. In almonds and cherries, benzaldehyde is responsible for the aroma which is a type of aldehyde. The benzaldehyde is classified as aromatic aldehyde because it consists of a benzene ring. The ketone family of organic compounds is structurally similar to the aldehydes. One of the simplest ketone is acetone.
