Explanation / Answer

Ans:

1) option A (Electronegativity of oxygen is more than carbon)

2) Option B (C=O bond short and strong)

3) Option C (two moles of alcohol)

EXAMPLE: CH3-CO-CH3 + 2R-OH -----> CH3-C(OR)2-CH3

4) option B (2-propanone)

5) Option A (aldehydes and ketones reduced by NaBH4 and gives alcohol)
