Key Points: Concepts of Aldehydes, Ketones, and Carboxylic Acids

  • Carbonyl group: The ≻C=O group (carbonyl carbon + carbonyl oxygen) — a key functional group in organic chemistry.
  • Carbonyl compounds: Aldehydes and ketones, both containing ≻C=O as their functional group.
  • Aldehydes: –CHO (formyl group); carbonyl C bonded to at least one H.
  • Ketones: ≻C=O (ketonic carbonyl group); carbonyl C bonded to two alkyl/aryl groups (R=R′ or R≠R′).
  • Carboxylic acids: –COOH (carboxyl group); –OH attached to ≻C=O makes them distinct from aldehydes/ketones.
