A-1. The reactivity of carbonyl group towards nucleophilic reagent depends upon the extent of positive charge
present on the carbon. In ketones two alkyl group attach to the carbon reduce the positive charge on the
carbonyl carbon due to their electron repelling nature while in aldehyde the positive charge on carbonyl
carbon is reduced to lesser extent because only one alkyl group is present.
Also, In ketones steric hinderance is more than aldehyde.

In presence of excess base and excess halogen a methyl ketone is converted first into a trihalo substituted
ketone and then into a carboxylic acid. After the trihalo substituted ketone is formed hydroxide ion attacks
the carboxyl carbon because the trihalo methyl ion is the group more easily expelled from the tetrahedral
intermediate. The conversion of a methyl ketone to a carboxylic acid is called a haloform reaction because
one of the product is haloform (CHCI3) or CHI3 or CHBr3.
