Formation of Aldehydes and Ketones

Very Easy Organic Chemistry Carbonyl Chemistry

In organic chemistry, carbonyl compounds contain a carbon-oxygen double bond (C=O). These compounds are significant due to their reactivity and role in various biological processes. One common type of carbonyl compound is an aldehyde, which has the general structure RCHO, where R is a hydrocarbon chain or hydrogen. Another important type is a ketone, with the structure R1C(=O)R2, where R1 and R2 can be alkyl or aryl groups.

Given this information, which of the following statements accurately describes the formation of a particular type of carbonyl compound?
