Both carbonyl compounds and acid derivatives though they contain grouping yet the reactions given by them are entirely different.
As Aldehydes and Ketones give addition product with a nucleophile, while carboxylic acid derivatives give nucleophilic acyl substitution through addition/elimination mechanism.

Where `X- = -Cl - O-overset(O)overset(||)C-R-OR, -NR(R)` etc.

Why aldeydes and Ketones give nucleophilic addition reaction while acid derivatives prefer nucleophilic acyl substititution reaction?

A

Carbonyl carbon of aldehyde and Ketones are more electron deficient than acid derivatives

B

Carbonyl carbon of acid derivatives are more electron deficient.

C

Acid derivatives also give addition reaction

D

In acid derivatives, acyl carbon is connected with a good leaving group
