Which of the following is a ketone?
Correct Answer: Acetone (CH3COCH3)
- Step 1: Understand what a ketone is. A ketone is a type of organic compound that has a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two other carbon atoms.
- Step 2: Look at the chemical structure of acetone, which is CH3COCH3. It has a carbonyl group (C=O) between two CH3 groups.
- Step 3: Confirm that acetone fits the definition of a ketone because it has the carbonyl group between two carbon atoms.
- Step 4: Compare acetone with other compounds to see if they also have the same structure. If they do not, they are not ketones.
