Question #8
Aldehydes and ketones both contain a carbonyl group, a carbon-oxygen double bond (C=O). In an aldehyde, this carbonyl group is bonded to at least one hydrogen atom, whereas in a ketone the carbonyl group is bonded to two alkyl groups. Aldehydes and ketones can be produced by the oxidation of alcohols. An oxidation can be thought of as the loss of hydrogen atoms or the gain of oxygen atoms. The loss of two hydrogen atoms, one from the oxygen atom of the alcohol and one from the carbon atom bonded to it, results in the formation of a carbonyl group. The carbonyl group will be located at the same position in the molecule as the former alcohol group.
