Aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids are important classes of organic compounds that contain a carbonyl group (-C=O) as a part of their structure. In this write-up, we will discuss these classes of compounds, their properties, and their uses.
Aldehydes:
Aldehydes are organic compounds that contain a carbonyl group (-C=O) attached to a hydrogen atom and an alkyl or aryl group. The general formula for aldehydes is RCHO, where R is an alkyl or aryl group

Physical properties of aldehydes:
Aldehydes have lower boiling points than alcohols of similar molecular weight due to the absence of hydrogen bonding between the -C=O group and other molecules. They are also polar molecules due to the electronegativity of the oxygen atom.
Chemical properties of aldehydes:
Aldehydes undergo various chemical reactions, including oxidation, reduction, and condensation. Oxidation of aldehydes can lead to the formation of carboxylic acids.
