No. Carbonyl is a carbon=oxygen double bond without another oxygen directly attached, these include aldehydes and ketones. Oxidation of an aldehyde yields a carboxyl (acid) group.

Explain why the carbonyl oxygen in the acid-base protonation reaction of acetic acid preferentially gets protonated over the hydroxyl group in the acetic acid?
Due to double bond carbonyl oxygen is less hindered as compare to hydoxyl oxygen, therefore its electron pairs are easily available for proton.
Is the theophylline act as Bronsted base or Bronsted acid and why?
base
Is FeBr3 a Bronsted Lowery base?
It is a Bronsted-Lowery base because the carbonyl oxygens will readily accept a proton.
How can water act as a acid or a base?
Water is a base. But, let's say you put lemons in the water, it would now be an acid.
Why can hso4 - be both a base and an acid?
HSO4 can act as a base by gaining a hydrogen ion to make H2SO4. HSO4 can act as an acid by losing a hydrogen ion to make SO4.
Can an amphoteric compound act like an acid and a base?
Am amphoteric substance can react as a base but also as an acid.
Is carbonyl acid in water?
yes

What are the conditions for the halogenation of carbonyl compounds?
Carbonyl compounds can be halogenated through either base or acid catalysis, although a difference in products can be expected; acid catalysis is more likely to produce alpha-monohalogenated carbonyl compounds (although polyhalogenation is also possible with acid), and base is more likely to produce a polyhalogenated alpha carbonyl compound. Halogenation occurs through an enolate/enol intermediate (base or acid respectively). In the case of basic halogenation an enolate is formed at the alpha position of the carbonyl carbon. The enolate (nucleohile) then attacks the halogen (Br2, Cl2, I2-typically not F2) since the halogen molecule acts as a polarized electrophile. The monohalogenated product is now more reactive than the unhalogenated reactant since the electron withdrawing halogen makes any alpha protons remaining even more acidic and susceptible to abstraction via base to create another enolate, and the process can be repeated.
Is the theophylline act as Bronsted base or Bronsted acid and why?
base
What is the central atom in the amino acid?
the carbon in carbonyl function
Can an amphoretic molecule act as an acid or base?
both
An amphoteric compound can act as a?
An amphoteric compound can act as an acid but also as base.

HSO4 can act as a base by gaining a hydrogen ion to make H2SO4. HSO4 can act as an acid by losing a hydrogen ion to make SO4.
If water can act as an acid or base what is it?
Water is both an acid and a base in the sense that it donates protons to a base thus becoming hydroxide and accepts protons from an acid thus making it hydronium.
