Card 1Nomenclature and classification

What are aldehydes?

Answer

Aldehydes are carbonyl compounds in which the carbon of the carbonyl group is bonded to a carbon and a hydrogen. General formula: RCHO. IUPAC suffix: -al. Example: ethanal.

Card 2नामकरण और वर्गीकरण

ऐल्डिहाइड क्या होते हैं?

Answer

ऐल्डिहाइड (Aldehydes) कार्बोनिल यौगिक होते हैं जिनमें कार्बोनिल समूह का कार्बन एक कार्बन और हाइड्रोजन से बंधा होता है। सामान्य सूत्र: RCHO. IUPAC प्रत्यय: -al. उदाहरण: एथेनल।

Card 3नामकरण और वर्गीकरण

कीटोन क्या होते हैं?

Answer

कीटोन (Ketone) ऐसे कार्बोनिल यौगिक होते हैं जिनमें कार्बोनिल कार्बन दो कार्बन परमाणुओं से बंधा होता है। सामान्य सूत्र: R2CO. IUPAC प्रत्यय: -ओन। उदाहरण: एसीटोन सबसे सरल कीटोन है और इसे डाइमिथाइल कीटोन

Card 4Nomenclature and classification

What are ketones?

Answer

Ketones are carbonyl compounds in which the carbonyl carbon is bonded to two carbon atoms. General formula: R2CO. IUPAC suffix: -one. Example: acetone is the simplest ketone and is called dimethyl ket

Card 5Nomenclature and classification

What are carboxylic acids?

Answer

Carboxylic acids contain the carboxyl group, -COOH. The carbonyl carbon is bonded to oxygen of the hydroxyl group and to carbon or hydrogen. General formulas: RCOOH for aliphatic acids and ArCOOH for

Card 6नामकरण और वर्गीकरण

कार्बोक्सिलिक अम्ल क्या होते हैं?

Answer

कार्बोक्सिलिक अम्लों में कार्बोक्सिल समूह, -COOH होता है। कार्बोनिल कार्बन हाइड्रॉक्सिल समूह के ऑक्सीजन से और कार्बन या हाइड्रोजन से बंधा होता है। सामान्य सूत्र: RCOOH एलिफैटिक अम्लों के लिये और ArCOO

Card 7संरचना और ध्रुवीयता

कार्बोनिल समूह अत्यधिक प्रतिक्रियाशील क्यों है?

Answer

कार्बोनिल कार्बन sp2 संकरित होता है जिसका बंधन कोण लगभग 120° होता है। C=O bond is polar because oxygen is more electronegative than कार्बन। अतः, कार्बोनिल कार्बन इलेक्ट्रॉनस्नेही और ऑक्सीजन नाभिकस्नेह

Card 8Structure and polarity

Why is the carbonyl group highly reactive?

Answer

The carbonyl carbon is sp2-hybridised with bond angles near 120°. The C=O bond is polar because oxygen is more electronegative than carbon. So, the carbonyl carbon becomes electrophilic and the oxygen
