Boiling points of carbonyl compounds lie between the parent alkanes and correponding alcohols. Justify.

Boiling point of alcohol is comparatively higher than that of corresponding alkane due to

Boiling point is highest for which compound?

The boiling point of ethyl alcohol should be less than that of

The boiling points to isomeric alcohols follow the order

Lowest boiling point will be of the compound-

The boiling point of alcohol are .... Than corresponding thiols.

Boiling point of alcohol is more than corresponding ether. Why ?

What type of compound is formed by the reaction between acetic acid and an alcohol?

Aldehyde and ketones are specially susceptible susceptible to nucleophile addition because carbonyl group (due to electronegatvity different between carbon and oxygen). Positive charge on carbon makes it reactive towards the nucleophile. This addition is catalysed by acid. Reactivity of carbonyl compound towards nucleophilic addition increases in the electron deficience at carbonyl carbon. Thus, (-I.E.) group increase while (+I.E.) groups decrease the reactivity of carbonyl compound Select the least reactive carbonyl compound for nucleophilic addition:
