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.
Answer:
C. 3.40 ppm, singlet
Explanation:
Given the information from the question .we have to select the best representation for represents the predicted approximate chemical shift and coupling for hydrogen(s). In this case, there is no neighboring hydrogen .Thus there won’t be any split .the best option answer is C. 3.40 ppm, singlet . Therefore the correct answer or option is C. 3.40 ppm, singlet.
