Carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids play an important role in the biochemical process of plants and animal kingdom.
Many aldehydes and ketones find applications in dye, perfumery and other industries.
The carbonyl carbon atom is \(s p^2\)-hybridized forming three sigma and one pi-bond with oxygen.
C-O bonds are polar bond due to high electronegativity of oxygen than carbon.
Hence the carbonyl carbon behaves as an electrophilic center and oxygen as a nucleophilic centre.
Primary and secondary alcohols yield aldehydes and ketones respectively upon oxidation with variety of oxidizing agents.
The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones differ from hydrocarbons and ethers.
Aldehydes and ketones undergo nucleophilic addition reaction due to presence of electrophilic carbonyl carbon.
Nucleophile and a proton add across the carbon oxygen double bond.

Carbohydrates are naturally formed organic compounds from various plants. The common chemical formula, \(C _x\left( H _2 O \right)_y\), was considered as hydrates of carbon to derive the various carbohydrates. For instance, the general formula for glucose ( \(C _6 H _{12} O _6\) ) easily fits into the above formula. Carbohydrates also called saccharides are classified on the basis of their behavior towards hydrolysis. Monosaccharides cannot be hydrolyzed further to simpler units of polyhydroxy aldehyde or ketones. About 20 monosaccharides are known to occur in nature. Carbohydrates that yield large number of monosaccharide units are called polysaccharides. Amino acids contain ( \(- NH _2\) ) and ( - COOH ), which can be classified in various forms. Proteins are polymers of alpha amino acids which are connected to each other by a peptide bond or peptide linkage. When a native protein is subjected to physical change, its globules unfold and helix get uncoiled and the protein loses its biological activity. The protein is said to be denaturated.
