Carbonyl Group: A functional group composed of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom, central to various organic compounds including ketones and aldehydes.
Nucleophilic Addition Reaction: A type of chemical reaction where a nucleophile forms a bond with an electrophilic carbon, common in the chemistry of carbonyl compounds like ketones.
Aldehyde (RCHO): An organic compound containing a carbonyl group bonded to at least one hydrogen atom, making it highly reactive in nucleophilic addition reactions
