aldehydes have at least one hydrogen bond in their structure,hence they do not cause much hindrances to attacking nucleophiles.ketones on the other hand have at least 2 methyl groups attached to their structure hence,the methyl group cause steric strains hence makes it difficult for the attacking nucleophile to bond with the carbonyl carbon.in this case aldehydes wiil be able to react with nuclephiles faster than ketones.
