Carbonyl group

Goal
1. Give the common uses of acetone, and
formalin.
2. Relate the structures of acetone, and
formalin to the carbonyl compounds
where they belong.
Carbonyl Group
•Is a functional group composed of a
carbon atom double-bonded to an
oxygen atom: C=O.
• There are two simple classes of
carbonyl group: Aldehydes and
Ketones
Carbonyl Functional Group
ACETONE
Guide Question
1. What do you observe in the styro cup after it
was dipped in acetone?
2. What happens when she rubs the cotton with
acetone on her nail polish?
3. What is the use of acetone?
4. What is distinct in the structure of acetone?
KETONE
• any of a class of organic compounds characterized
by the presence of a carbonyl group in which the
carbon atom is covalently bonded to an oxygen
atom.
Acetone has low boiling point (56 °C [132.8 °F])
-it is one of the most important industrial solvents,
being used in such products as paints, varnishes,
resins, coatings, and nail-polish removers.
Structure of Ketone
FORMALIN
Guide Question
1. What is the use of formalin?
2. What is distinct in the structure of formalin?
 Structure of Aldehyde

FORMALDEHYDE
Aldehyde
Common functional group in organic compound.
Responsible for natural and synthetic hormones
Structure of an aldehyde consist of carbonyl
group single bonded to a hydrogen atom.
More reactive than ketones
