15.1 Structure and Bonding

C=O, carbonyl group

1^o- aldehyde

2^o- ketone

15.2 Naming Aldehydes and Ketones

Name the longest carbon chain containing the carbonyly group.

Number the main chain starting from the end nearest the carbonyl group.

aldehydes: suffix of -al

ketones: suffix of -one

or can usy the prefix oxo-
