    Study Notes

    The Carbonyl Group

    • A carbonyl group is a double bond between an sp2 hybridized carbon and an sp2 hybridized oxygen.
    • This bond is composed of a sigma bond and a pi bond.
    • The carbonyl group is a polar functional group due to the electronegativity difference between carbon and oxygen.

    Hybridisation and Electronegativity

    • The carbonyl group's carbon and oxygen atoms are sp2 hybridized.

    Synthesis of Alcohols

    • Alcohols can be synthesized through the hydration of alkenes.

    Oxidation of Alcohols

    • Primary alcohols are oxidized to aldehydes, which can be further oxidized to carboxylic acids.
    • Secondary alcohols are oxidized to ketones.
    • Tertiary alcohols cannot be oxidized to a carbonyl compound.

    Aldehydes

    • The aldehyde functional group consists of a carbonyl center with a hydrogen and a hydrocarbon group attached.
    • Aldehydes are important in organic chemistry and in the world around us.

    Ketones

    • The ketone functional group consists of a carbonyl center with two hydrocarbon groups attached.
    • Ketones are important in organic chemistry and in the world around us.
