Document Summary
Aldehydes and ketones are two families of organic compounds that contain the carbonyl (c=o) functional group. Aldehydes may be prepared from alcohols by oxidation: when a molecule loses h atoms as above, it is an oxidation reaction. Disinfectant, preservative, used for embalming, it is toxic, its iupac name is methanal. Systematic naming: remove e from parent alkene end from corresponding alkane and add al. Acetone (made by the oxidation of isopropyl alcohol) is a solvent for organic compounds, as such is used in nail polish remover. It is commonly used in chemistry research labs for washing glassware because of its water solubility and volatility. Someone with a lot of acetone in their body can have breath that smells fruity (acetone breath). This is a sign of metabolic problems (i. e. : diabetes) Systematic name: replace e for parent alkane with one. (the iupac name for acetone is propanone). Organic acids contain the carboxyl (cooh) functional group.
