Monosaccharides can be grouped as aldehydes and kefone groups, what is their difference and similarities and list four examples for both of them

Aldehyde has C=O bonded to atleast one H atom while Ketone has C=O bonded to two carbon atoms

Aldehyde - galactose, glucose, glyceraldehyde, fructose

Ketone - Trioses, Tetroses, Pentoses, Hexoses

Explanation:

Similarity

Both the aldehyde and ketone have C=O group

Difference

In aldehye the C=O group require atleast one hydrogen atom or the functional group in aldehyde is -CHO

while in ketone the function group is C=O only that is bonded to two carbon atoms.

Example

Aldehyde - galactose, glucose, glyceraldehyde, fructose

Ketone - Trioses, Tetroses, Pentoses, Hexoses
