Aldehydes, Ketones, and Carbohydrates Flashcards
Aldehydes and ketones are simple
compounds which contain a ________, - a carbon -oxygen double bond.
Carbonyl Group
the carbonyl group has a hydrogen
atom attached to it together with either:
* second hydrogen atom
* a hydrocarbon group which might be an alkyl group or one containing a benzene ring
Aldehydes
TRUE OR FALSE:
The C=O double bond consists of one sigma bond formed by the overlap of sp2 hybrid orbitals and
one pi bond formed by the overlap of parallel 2p orbitals.
TRUE
the carbonyl group has two
hydrocarbon groups attached.
Ketones
TRUE OR FALSE:
Aldehydes and ketones react
with nucleophiles
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE:
As the number of R groups around the carbonyl carbon
increases, the reactivity of the carbonyl compound
decreases
TRUE
What is the reagent of Tollen’s Test?
Ammoniacal Silver Nitrate
What is the positive result for Tollen’s Test?
- formation of elemental silver,
- accumulated onto the inner surface of the reaction
vessel, - producing silver mirror on the inner surface of
the vessel
Test for aldehydes

What is the positive result for Iodoform Test?
- formation of a pale yellow precipitate
- suspension of iodoform and a distinct smell
