Aldehydes and Ketones. Aldehydes and Ketones Background for Aldehydes and Ketones An aldehyde contains at least one hydrogen attached to the C of a C=O (carbonyl group). A ketone contains two alkyl groups attached to the C of the carbonyl group. The carbon in the carbonyl is sp2 hybridized, has a bond angle of 120o, and is trigonal planar. Aldehydes and ketones have dipole-dipole attractions between molecules, and no hydrogen bonding between molecules.

These compounds can hydrogen bond with compounds have O-H or N-H bonds. The melting points and boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are between alkanes and alcohols. Small aldehydes and ketones are soluble in water. Uses of Aldehydes and Ketones Formaldehyde can be used to preserve dead animals. 1. Aldehydes and ketones are organic compounds which incorporate a carbonyl functional group, C=O. The IUPAC system of nomenclature assigns a characteristic suffix to these classes, al to aldehydes and one to ketones. Back to the Top 2. Natural Products 3. 4. 1. B. Spring-greenchem.wikispaces.
