Carbonyl Compounds
Learning Time: 5-15 hours
Content: Carbonyl compounds are organic compounds containing a carbon-oxygen double bond (-C=O). This field covers aldehydes, ketones, nomenclature, chemical reactions (oxidation, reduction), tautomerism, and practical applications. TYT focuses on basic structures, while AYT focuses on reaction mechanisms. The current 2025 curriculum also covers biochemistry and materials science. Learning this topic forms the basis for organic synthesis and biology.
- Carbonyl Structure:
