What is the nature of the carbonyl group in aldehydes and ketones?
The carbon and oxygen of the carbonyl group are Sp2 hybridised and the carbonyl double bond contains one o-bond and one π-bond. The electronegativity of oxygen is much higher than that of the carbon, so the electron cloud is shifted towards the oxygen, making the C-O bond polar in nature.
