Which of the following is the distinguishing characteristic between aldehydes and ketones?

-Ketones contain an oxygen atom, while aldehydes do not.

-Aldehydes are more substituted versions of ketones.

-Aldehydes contain an oxygen atom bound directly to a hydrogen atom, while the oxygen atoms in ketones are only bound to cabon atoms.

-Ketones contain a carbonyl group between two carbons, while the carbonyl group in an aldehyde must be attached to a hydrogen.
