Introduction
Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids is a very important chapter
of Class 12 Organic Chemistry that deals with organic compounds
containing carbonyl (–CHO, >C=O) and carboxyl (–COOH) functional groups.
This chapter explains their nomenclature, preparation, physical properties,
chemical reactions, and important name reactions. A strong understanding of
this chapter is essential for CBSE Board examinations and reaction-based
questions in NEET and JEE (Main).
