Chapter 28
Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids
A silver mirror that forms on the wall of a test tube, the yellow solid of the iodoform test, the sharp taste of vinegar and the smell of almonds all come from one small group of atoms, the carbonyl group. In this chapter you learn how aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids are named and made, why they add nucleophiles, how they are oxidised and reduced, and why carboxylic acids are acids. It serves the Indian syllabus (NCERT, NEET, JEE Main and the board and state exams) and the matching topics of A-Level, IB and AP. Python counts isomers, solves acid equilibria and finds routes between compounds.
