Aldehydes

• Functional group is the carbonyl group
• Always attached to a carbon atom which has one
  hydrogen atom attached it
• Therefore must always be at the end of a
  hydrocarbon chain
• A sub-set based on the alkanes is called the
  alkanals

Ketones

• Functional group is the carbonyl group
• Always attached to a carbon atom which has no
  hydrogen atoms attached to it
• Therefore must always never be at the end of a
  hydrocarbon chain
• A sub-set based on the alkanes is called the
  alkanones
