Answer: acetone is a ketone and not an aldehyde. Therefore it's false
Explanation:
Acetone is of structure CH3-CO-CH3
which makes it a ketone.
Both aldehyde and ketone have a carbonyl group but there is difference between aldehyde and ketone.
Aldehydes have a general formula R-CHO
where R is a methyl group including H atom, and CHO is the functional group.
While
Ketone have the general formula R-CO-Ri
where R and Ri are methyl groups excluding H atom, and CO is the functional group.
Hint: ketones usually end with the suffix "one" as in acetone.
