Options

  1. A(CH3)2C=O\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{2} \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O}
  2. BCH3CH2CHO\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CHO}
  3. CCH3CHO\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHO}
  4. DWhich compound is an example of an extensively hydrated alkaline earth metal compound?

Correct answer

C. CH3CHO\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHO}

Step-by-step solution

Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones due to +I+\mathrm{I} effect of −CH3-\mathrm{CH}_{3} group. There are two −CH3-\mathrm{CH}_{3} group in acetone which reduces +ve charge density on carbon atom of carbonyl group. More hindered carbonyl group becomes less reactive. So in the given case CH3CHO\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHO} is the right choice.
