Q. Ketones also called as__.
Solution:
- An aldose is a monosaccharide (a simple sugar) with a carbon backbone chain with a carbonyl group on the endmost carbon atom, making it an aldehyde, and hydroxyl groups connected to all the other carbon atoms.
- Aldoses can be distinguished from ketoses, which have the carbonyl group away from the end of the molecule, and are therefore ketones.
- Aldehydes and Ketones are often called as methanoyl or formyl group.
- The carbon atom of this group has 2 remaining bonds that might be occupied by aryl or alkyl or substituents.
- If neither of these substituents is hydrogen, the compound is a Ketone.
- If at least one is hydrogen, the compound is an Aldehyde.
