Contain carbonyl group C=O Carbonyl group is polar because oxygen has a high electronegativity Can have alkyl and aryl groups Aldehydes have a hydrogen bonded to the carbon of the carbonyl group (RCH=O) and use the suffix al for naming Ketones have two carbons bonded to the carbon of the carbonyl group (RC=OR) and use the suffix one for naming
PROPANONE PROPANAL
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Carbonyl group can only take part in hydrogen bonding if in aqueous solution Permanent dipole-dipole attractions in carbonyl compounds Straight chain isomers have higher boiling points than branched chain isomers
SOLUBILITY IN WATER
Carbonyl group has a highly electronegative oxygen, so hydrogen bonding can occur when carbonyl compounds are mixed with water
