CH3CHO
CH3COCH3
CH3COC2H5

उत्तर
HCHO
Explanation:
The group linked to carbonyl carbon influences reactivity in nucleophilic addition processes. The more electron-deficient the carbon, the greater its reactivity. The presence of alkyl groups reduces reactivity by lowering electron deficit. As a result, HCHO is more reactive towards nucleophilic addition processes.

| (iii) |  |
| (iv) |  |
The following questions are case-based questions. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
| The carbon-oxygen double bond is polarised in aldehydes and ketones due to higher electronegativity of oxygen relative to carbon. Therefore, they undergo nucleophilic addition reactions with a number of nucleophiles such as HCN, NaHSO3, alcohols, ammonia derivatives and Grignard reagents. Aldehydes are easily oxidised by mild oxidising agents as compared to ketones. The carbonyl group of carboxylic acid does not give reactions of aldehydes and ketones. Carboxylic acids are considerably more acidic than alcohols and most of simple phenols. |
