The carbon atom in an aldehyde is bonded to one hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom. The carbon-oxygen double bond is called a carbonyl group. The aldehyde group is a functional group that is responsible for the aldehyde&#8217;s characteristic properties.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nomenclature_of_Aldehydes\"><\/span>Nomenclature of Aldehydes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In IUPAC nomenclature, an aldehyde is named by replacing the -e ending of the alkane name with -al. For example, CH3-CH2-OH is named methanal, while CH3-CHO is named ethanal. If there is more than one aldehyde present, the one with the lower molecular weight is given the prefix a- (e.g. a-methanal, a-ethanal)<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"General_Structure_of_a_Ketone\"><\/span>General Structure of a Ketone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The general structure of a ketone is shown below.<\/p>\n<p>A ketone is a molecule that has a carbonyl group (C=O) and at least one other alkyl group.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nomenclature_of_Ketones\"><\/span>Nomenclature of Ketones<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are three types of ketones:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Acetone<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Acetone is a colorless, volatile, flammable liquid ketone that is produced and used as a solvent.

It is a colorless liquid that is soluble in water.<\/p>\n<p>Acetoacetic acid is produced in the body by the oxidation of acetoacetate. It is the main ketone body in the blood, and is responsible for the ketone breath smell. Acetoacetic acid is also a precursor to acetone, which is a solvent and is a major component of nail polish remover.<\/p>\n<p>Acetoacetic acid is used as a solvent and in the production of plastics, resins, and other synthetic materials.
