Aldehydes and ketones are both organic compounds containing carbonyl groups, but they differ in their structural arrangements and properties. Aldehydes have a carbonyl group at the end of a carbon chain, while ketones have it within the chain. This fundamental difference leads to variations in chemical reactivity, boiling points, and uses in industries such as flavoring, fragrances, and pharmaceuticals. In this article, we explore their characteristics, examples, and significance in organic chemistry.
