Which of the following compounds do not contain a carbonyl group?(a) Alcohol(b) Aldehyde(c) Ketone(d) Carboxylic acidI got this question in final exam.My question is from Nomenclature and Structure of Carbonyl Groups in chapter Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer» CORRECT option is (a) Alcohol

Easiest explanation: CARBONYL groups are those which CONTAIN a carbon-oxygen double BOND. In alcohols, the bond between C and O is a single bond and hence does not contain a carbonyl group.
