Propanone (acetone) is not a hydrocarbon; it is a ketone molecule. It is considered the simplest ketone because it consists of a carbonyl group attached to two carbon atoms. Hydrocarbons contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms, whereas ketones contain a carbonyl functional group (C=O) bonded to two alkyl groups.

What functional group is present in 2-propanone?
The functional group present in 2-propanone is a ketone group, which is characterized by a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two carbon atoms.
Is acetone a hydrocarbon?
No, acetone is not a hydrocarbon. It is a type of organic compound known as a ketone.
What is the common name of acetophenone?
It is the compound with a benzene ring and propanone
What happens when propanone is reduced?
When propanone is reduced, it forms propan-2-ol (isopropyl alcohol) as the main product. The reduction process involves adding hydrogen atoms to the carbonyl group of propanone, resulting in the conversion of the C=O bond to a C-OH bond.
Chemical name for acetone?
Acetone is the common name. It is also known as dimethly ketone or 2-proponone, which are its proper names, in chemistry. =)
What functional group is present in 2-propanone?

What makes acetone?
Common synonyms Acetone, 2-propanone, methyl ketone, dimethyl ketone Formula (CH3)2C=O
Why is ethanal can react with acidified potassium dichromate but propanone cannot?
because apparently, propanone is a ketone, and ketons do not have a hydrogen which could get oxidised, unlike aldehydes which do.
Is acetone a hydrocarbon?
No, acetone is not a hydrocarbon. It is a type of organic compound known as a ketone.
What is the common name of acetophenone?
It is the compound with a benzene ring and propanone
What functional group present in propannone?
Propanone (a.k.a. acetone) contains a ketone as a functional group as well as alkane hydrocarbons.
What happens when propanone is reduced?
When propanone is reduced, it forms propan-2-ol (isopropyl alcohol) as the main product. The reduction process involves adding hydrogen atoms to the carbonyl group of propanone, resulting in the conversion of the C=O bond to a C-OH bond.

Give a reaction mechanism for iodoform reaction using propanone?
In the iodoform reaction using propanone, the methyl ketone group of propanone undergoes halogenation and substitution reactions with iodine and sodium hydroxide. The mechanism involves formation of the enolate ion, followed by a nucleophilic attack of the iodine ion to yield iodoform as the final product.
What is a functional name of CH3COCH3?
The molecule is propanone (IUPAC name) or acetone (common name) and has a ketone group (>C=O) as the functional group.
Why is propanone polar?
Propane itself is non polar, but the presence of the ketone group (C=O) in propanone makes it a polar molecule (oxygen has partial -ve charge). As propanone is a small molecule it can be soluble in water, which itself is polar.
What is another name for acetone'?
Dimethyl ketone, or 2-propanone, CH3COCH3.
