Vedclass · Answer

(A) In the carbonyl group $(C=O)$,the oxygen atom is more electronegative than the carbon atom. This causes the $\pi$-electrons to shift towards the oxygen atom,resulting in a partial positive charge on the carbon atom and a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom.The carbon atom,being electron-deficient (partial positive charge),acts as an electrophile.The oxygen atom,having lone pairs and a partial negative charge,acts as a nucleophile.Therefore,statements $A$ and $D$ are correct.

column-$I$	column-$II$
$(i)$ $CH_3COCH_3$	$(a)$ Aldehyde,$(b)$ Ketone
$(ii)$ $CH_3CH_2CHO$	$(c)$ Propanone,$(d)$ Oxo
$(iii)$ $CH_3CH_2COOH$	$(e)$ One,$(f)$ al
	$(g)$ Propanoic acid

With reference to the carbonyl group,which statement$(s)$ is/are correct?
$A$. Carbonyl carbon is electrophilic
$B$. Carbonyl carbon is nucleophilic
$C$. Carbonyl oxygen is electrophilic
$D$. Carbonyl oxygen is nucleophilic
