In 1945, a woman named Beulah Hunter, who was 25 at the time, gave birth to a healthy, normal daughter named Penny Diana after the record-breaking pregnancy. According to the New Health Guide, the length of the pregnancy was verified by her menstrual cycle and the date of her positive pregnancy test.
In chemistry, a ketone (alkanone) /ËkiËtoÊn/ is an organic compound with the structure RC(=O)R', where R and R' can be a variety of carbon-containing substituents. Ketones and aldehydes are simple compounds that contain a carbonyl group (a carbon-oxygen double bond).
Classify each compound as an aldehyde or a ketone. Give the common name for each ketone. Solution. 1  This compound has the carbonyl group on an end carbon atom, so it is an aldehyde. 2  This compound has the carbonyl group on an interior carbon atom, so it is a ketone.3  This compound has the carbonyl group between two alkyl groups, so it is a ketone.ecause the carbonyl group in a ketone must be attached to two carbon groups, the simplest ketone has three carbon atoms. It is widely known as acetone, a unique name unrelated to other common names for ketones.
