Explanation: Ketones are less reactive due to steric hindrance and electron-donating (+I) effects of two R groups.
82 Aldehydes on oxidation give acids of:
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Aldehyde oxidation (e.g., CH₃CHO → CH₃COOH) preserves carbon count.
83 Which statement is false regarding acetaldehyde and acetone:
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: Only aldehydes (e.g., acetaldehyde) reduce Tollen's reagent; ketones (e.g., acetone) do not.
84 Ethyl butyrate has a flavour of
