The carbons adjacent to the oxygen and the oxygen itself are less charged than the oxygen ad its attached carbon in a carbonyl group. The oxygen always carries a delta negative charge and the carbons a delta positive charge, but it is considerably lower in an ester than in a carbonyl. This is partly due to the double bond in the carbonyl making the bond electron dense and more polarisable.

∙ 9y agoYes. There's nothing stopping an ether from also being an aldehyde, or ketone, or carboxylic acid, or amide, or any of a number of other types of compounds that contain carbonyl groups.
If the carbonyl group is right next to the oxygen, that's not an ether, it's an ester. (It could ALSO be an ether, but it would need to have at least one more oxygen somewhere else in the molecule.)

∙ 9y agoAn ester must have a carbonyl group by definition. This carbonyl group forms the core of the ester through oxygen's (O) sp2 hybridization (double bonding) to the carbon (C) atom.

Carbonyl group has a double bond between carbon and oxygen.

What is more polar either ethyl acetate or pet ether?
Ethylacetate is more polar. IT has a carbonyl group, which means the more electronegative Oxygen is drawing electron density towards oxygen, hence leaves the carbonyl carbon to be delta positive, hence there is polarity between those atoms of the molecule, then there is the ethyl group attached to this same carbonyl carbon, which although there is a degree of induction due to the CH2CH3 somewhat pushing towards the the carbonyl carbon, yet again the oxygen attached draws more density away, than the ethyl aspect pushing in, hence on both fronts, the molecule is polar. NOW in comparison to petroleum ether, well, petroleum ether, is usually short chained alkanes, either pentane, hexane, and is a fraction of refined oil. THE UPPER LIGHTER FRACTION, and not to be compared to say an actual ether, such as diethyl ether. So on that basis, pet ether is non polar. NOW if you meant diethyl ether. ETHYL ACETATE is still more polar, as the ether has one oxygen between methylene groups, or perhaps two methyl groups. and yes, there is an electronegative difference between that oxygen and the carbon next to it, but an ether is flanked by two carbon groups, hence the polarity of the molecule is minimized.
On monosaccharides the functional group that is found bonded to all of the carbons on the chain except one is called Hydroxyl group Carbonyl group Carboxyl group or Phosphate group?
A monosaccharide is composed of a chain of carbons all with hydroxyl groups, plus one carbonyl such as a ketone or an aldehyde.
Attraction between benzophenone and methanol?
The carbonyl group of the benzophenone acts as a hydrogen bond acceptor with the alcohol group of methanol.
What is the name of CH2CHCH2CH2CH3?
In this molecule you have 2 different carbon chains separated by the functional ether group. The generic formula for an ether is R-O-R. Your first group is a 2 carbon chain called an ethyl and your second group is a 1 carbon called a methyl. So you have a methyl group and ethyl group which must be put together in in alphabetical order ethyl-methyl and then followed by the functional group -ether. Thus your final molecule name is ethyl-methyl-ether. Good luck with the rest of O. Chem!
Oxygen double bonded to a carbon in the middle of a carbon chain?
A carbon-oxygen group like this is referred to as a carbonyl group by itself. Any molecule that has one bonded into it's main chain is a ketone.
Difference ester vs ether?
Esters contain a carbonyl group ( C == O ) on the Carbon adjacent to the Oxygen.
Which functional group does the molecule below have?
Carbonyl
Does carbonyl groups contain nitrogen?
no,carbonyl group consist of carbon and oxygen
Is ketones the carbonyl group?
None. The carbonyl group is C=O. In a ketone it is bonded to two R-groups (most likely two carbons.)
What is a name of a key functional group found in carbohydrates?
carbonyl group
Does ethanol contains the carbonyl group?
No. Ethanol contains a hydroxyl group, but not a carbonyl group.
What functional groups does formaldehyde contain?
Formaldehyde, as its name implies, is an aldehyde. Thus, it contains a carbonyl (CHO) functional group. This group consists of a carbon atom double bonded to an oxygen atom. The carbonyl group is the only functional group contained in formaldehyde.
Why would acetone not be a good solvent for the reaction with a Grignard?
Acetone has a carbonyl which is what grignard reacts with; ether however has no such thing (no carbonyl) so it can react easily.
What function group is found in an aldehyde?
Carbonyl
What element make up the carbonyl group?
A carbonyl group is a carbon-oxygen double bond.
What is a carbonyl esters group?
In the field of organic chemistry a carbonyl group consists of carbon atoms double bonded with some oxygen atoms. However, Carbonyl Esters consists of carbonyl group influenced by different alkyl groups.
Do fatty acids Contain an alcohol group at one end?
The fatty acids have carboxylic group 'COOH' at terminal this is a group having 'OH' group attached to carbonyl carbon but it is not alcohol.
