Ch18 Ketones and Aldehydes (landscape) Page 5 A ketone or aldehyde group can also be named as a substituent on a molecule with another functional group as its

Aldehydes and Ketones 1. Nomenclature of Aldehydes and Ketones. Aldehydes and ketones are organic compounds which incorporate a carbonyl functional group, C=O.

A table of the 14 most common functional groups in undergraduate organic chemistry, with 8 additional less common groups.

The ketone carbon is often described as “sp 2 hybridized”, a description that includes both their electronic and molecular structure. Ketones are trigonal planar

1 Identification of an Unknown – Alcohols, Aldehydes, and Ketones How does one determine the actual identity and structure of an unknown compound?

Here’s a little nomenclature dilemma. Let’s say you’re trying to name a molecule. You’re familiar with the familiar naming suffixes like -ol, -ene, -ane, -oic
