Why do aldehydes and ketones have lower boiling points than their correspending alcohols?
Wiki User

Ketones and aldehydes do not have hydrocarbon atoms which bond to nitrogen or oxygen, individual molecules do not hydrogen bond to each other which makes them have lower boiling points than alcohols.

∙ 11y agobecause the ammonia has been filtered through the cat's kidneys removing all the properties within the ammonia that would make the boiling point higher than water

What kind of alcohols can be used to prepare aldehydes?
All primary (10) alcohols may be oxidized to aldehydes.
Which two groups have the same functional group?
ketones and aldehydes
Use of borane in THF in organic synthesis?
Borane takes aldehydes to primary alcohols and ketones to secondary alcohols it also reduces esters but only slowly
What is carbon oxygen and hydrogen combined?
Carbohydrates, sugars, ketones, alcohols, phenols, phenones, carboxylic acids, esters and aldehydes and others. The simplest aldehyde is HCHO - formaldehyde.
What types of aldehydes and ketones would you expect to be water-soluble?
The aldehydes and ketones having three or less carbon atoms are soluble in water.
What kind of alcohols can be used to prepare aldehydes?
All primary (10) alcohols may be oxidized to aldehydes.
What are products of ozonolysis of natural rubber?
alcohols, aldehydes or ketones, or carboxylic acids
Why teritay alcohol cannot be made by hydrogenation of aldehydes or ketones?
Ter. alcohols are those in which alpha carbon (carbon bearing halogen atom) is attached to three other carbon atoms, in aldehyde there is only one and in ketones there are two carbons attached to alpha carbon so by hydrogenation aldehydes may be converted into primary alcohols and ketones into secondary alcohols so preparation of ter. alcohols is not possible. however ketones with Grignard's reagents may produce tertiary alcohols.

ketones and aldehydes

What is VOC?
In environmental studies a VOC is a Volatile Organic Compound. It is any material that is made of carbon, hydrogen, and potentially oxygen (Alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, alkanes, etc.) that evaporates easily into the air.
Name all the functional groups.?
Alkanes, Alkyl group, Alicyclic cycloalkanes/cycloalkenes, Halogenoalkanes, Alkenes, Alcohols, Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic acids, Esters, Amines, a-amino acids, Amides, Nitro.
What are the example of polar solvent?
Water, alcohols, carbonyls (eg ketones, aldehydes ect), nitriles ect.
