CORNELL NOTES 10.3


LEARNING OBJECTIVES Notes
• Compare the physical properties
of aldehydes and ketones with CARBONYL GROUP
those of compounds in other
classes. • Carbonyl Group
- Carbon is double bonded to an
❖ What are Carbonyl Groups? oxygen atom and single
bonded to two other atoms
(either hydrogen or carbon).

STRUCTURE OF CARBONYL
GROUP:
❖ What is the General Structure
of Carbonyl Group?


❖ TWO TYPES OF CARBONYL
❖ What are the Two types of FUNCTIONAL GROUP:
Carbonyl Functional Groups?
• Aldehydes
❖ What are Aldehydes? - Organic compounds that
have at least one
hydrogen atom attached
to the carbonyl group.

• Ketones
- Organic compounds
❖ What are Ketones? that have two carbons
attached to the
carbonyl group.

REFLECTION
• Carbonyl Functional Groups is a class of Organic compounds where a carbon
atom is double bonded to an oxygen atom and single bonded with other atoms.
• The General formula of Aldehydes is R-CHO or R-COH
• The General formula of Ketones is R-CO-R’
