The structural formulas is to be drawn for each of the following species. Concept introduction: Aldehyde and ketones are organic compounds. They contain carbonyl functional group. Aldehyde has a structure − CHO , consisting of a carbonyl centre (a carbon double bonded to oxygen) with the carbon atom also bonded to hydrogen and to a R group which is any alkyl or side chain. In a ketone, two carbon groups are attached to the carbonyl carbon atom. To determine: The structural formula of formaldehyde ( methanal ) .

Solution Summary: The author explains that the structural formulas are to be drawn for each of the following species.
Definition Definition Organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C=O, as their functional group. The carbonyl group in aldehydes is placed at the end of the molecular structure, which means the C=O is attached to one hydrogen atom and an alkyl group or a benzene ring. Just like all the other homologous series in organic chemistry, the naming of aldehydes uses the suffix “-al”. The general molecular formula is C n H 2n O.
