Organic question, help me out!?
Carboxyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) do not make hydrogen bond within themselves...
Whats's the reasn behind this, i have read that for hydrogen bonding, H+ should be directly attached to (FON, i.e. fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen) but in carbonyl compounds, oxygen is have no such attachements like one should be present in H+ bonding. so is this the reason behind that?
My other confuion is i have studied that carbonyl compounds are polar right, and water is polar too?
so it is rule of thumb that polar solvents dissolves polar compunds, and non polar vice versa, exception small nonpolar compounds are soluble in water?
okay, so now the confusion is according to this rule aldehydes and ketones should be soluble in water, but they are sonly soluble with small chains of carbon, in bgger chains they are insoluble, so why is this soo??
Any kind of help will be appreciated, please help me!
