Assertion (A) The `alpha`-hydrogen atom in carbonyl compounds is less acidic.
Reason (R) The anion formed after the loss of `alpha`-hydrogen atom is resonance stabilised.

This question contains two statements: Statement 1 and Statement 2. This question has four alternative choices, only one of which is the correct answer. Statement 1: The alpha -hydrogen atom in carbonyl compounds is basic. Statement 1: The anion formed after the loss of alpha -hydrogen atom from carbonyl compound is resonance stabilised.

Assertion : alpha -hydrogen atoms in aldehydes or ketones are acidic. Reason : Anions formed aftrt the loss of alpha -hydrogen atoms are stablished due to inductive effect.

(A) alpha -Hydrogen atoms in aldehdes and ketones are acidic. (R) The anion left after the removal of alpha -hydrogen from carbonly compounds is stabilized by the electron withdrawing carbonyl group.

(A) alpha -hydrogen atom of carbonly compouns is acidic in nature. (R) beta-hydrogen is directly attached to carbon to next to carbonyl carbon

Assertion : beta - hydrogen atom of carbonyl compounds is acidic in nature. Reason : beta - hydrogen is directly attached to carbon next to carbonyl carbon.

The "______" hydrogen atoms of carbonyl compounds (i.e aldehydes and ketones) are acidic protons.

Why are alpha -hydrogen atom of aldehydes and ketones acidic in nature?
