Vedclass · Answer

(B) Ketones are classified as simple (symmetrical) or mixed (unsymmetrical) based on the groups attached to the carbonyl carbon $(>C=O)$.In simple ketones,both alkyl or aryl groups attached to the carbonyl carbon are the same.In mixed ketones,the two groups attached to the carbonyl carbon are different (e.g.,one alkyl and one aryl group).Acetophenone $(C_6H_5COCH_3)$ consists of a phenyl group and a methyl group attached to the carbonyl carbon,making it a mixed ketone.
