carbonyl group does not have hydrogen, it is a carbon double bonded to oxygen. by adding a nucleophile such as H- or water you can form an alcohol in an addition reaction.

In case of crossed cannizaro why does formaldehyde always get oxidised?
because the carbonyl group of formaldehyde is more reactive because the carbonyl group of formaldehyde is more reactive because the carbonyl group of formaldehyde is more reactive
Does ethanoic acid more closely resemble hydroxyl or carbonyl compounds in its reaction?
Ethanoic acid resembles hydroxyl compounds more than carbonyl because it reacts with sodium and phosphorus pentachloride, typical alcohol reactions. But it doesn't react with 2,4- dinitrophenylhydrozine (typical carbonyl compound).
What is more polar pentane or isopropyl alcohol?
Isopropyl alcohol
Is 1-propanol polar?
Isopropyl alcohol is the common name of 2-propanol. The O in the hydroxyl group is more electronegative than the carbon/hydrogen atoms and exerts a greater pull on the electrons, which results in the slight polarity of the compound.
Is water more polar than isopropyl alcohol?
yes isopropanol is non polar while water is polar yes isopropanol is non polar while water is polar
Is ethyl acetate more polar than toluene?
Yes, ethyl acetate is more polar than toluene.
In case of crossed cannizaro why does formaldehyde always get oxidised?
because the carbonyl group of formaldehyde is more reactive because the carbonyl group of formaldehyde is more reactive because the carbonyl group of formaldehyde is more reactive
Is isopropyl alcohol more polar than glucose?
Yes, Isopropyl Alcohol is a Polar Molecule.
What is more polar pentane or isopropyl alcohol?
Isopropyl alcohol
Which is more polar fluorene or florenone?
The fluorenone is more polar because it belongs to the ketone family. The fluorene is an aromatic molecule without polar fonction and this is not the case of the fluorenone, it contains a carbonyl fonction (carbon-double bond-oxygen).
Does ethanoic acid more closely resemble hydroxyl or carbonyl compounds in its reaction?
Ethanoic acid resembles hydroxyl compounds more than carbonyl because it reacts with sodium and phosphorus pentachloride, typical alcohol reactions. But it doesn't react with 2,4- dinitrophenylhydrozine (typical carbonyl compound).
Can an ether contain a carbonyl group?
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.
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.
Which is a stronger organic solvent propanone or 2-propanol?
2-propanol because it contains OH group which is more elctronegative then the carbonyl group in propanone
Is a methyl group more polar than a hydroxyl group?
NO, hydroxyl group is more polar than methyl group due to the electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond, the more polar the bond. Partial negative charges are found on the most electronegative atoms
When protonation occurs with carboxylic acid why does the H plus cation go to the carbonyl oxygen?
The positive charge given to the carbonyl Oxygen can be delocalized onto the alcohol oxygen through resonance. This spreads the charge out and makes the species more stable.
Is ammonium chloride soluble in ethanol?
Yes, ethanol belongs to the alcohol functional group therefore polar, and BaCl2 is polar, so it does dissolve.
