+
+###### Explain why : "The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are higher than hydrocarbons and ethers of comparable molecular masses"
+The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are higher than hydrocarbons and ethers of comparable molecular masses due to **weak dipole-dipole interactions**.

+
+
+The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are ==higher== than hydrocarbons and ethers of comparable molecular masses. *(higher/lower?)*
+
+
+
+The boiling points of hydrocarbons and ethers are ==lower== than aldehydes and ketones of comparable molecular masses. *(higher/lower?)*
+
+
+
+###### Explain why : "The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are lower than alcohols of similar molecular masses"
+Their boiling points are lower than those of alcohols of similar molecular masses, due to **absence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding**.

+The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are ==lower== than alcohols of similar molecular masses. *(higher/lower?)*
+
+
+
+The boiling points of alcohols are ==higher== than aldehydes and ketones of similar molecular masses. *(higher/lower?)*
+
+
+
+###### Explain why : "Among isomeric aldehydes and ketones, ketones have slightly higher boiling points"
+Among isomeric aldehydes and ketones, ketones have slightly higher boiling points due to the **presence of two electron releasing alkyl groups**, which make carbonyl group more polar.
+
+
+
+The boiling points of isomeric ketones are ==slightly higher== than isomeric aldehydes. *(higher/lower?)*
+
+
+
+The boiling points of isomeric aldehydes are ==slightly lower== than isomeric ketones. *(higher/lower?)*

+
+###### Explain why : "Lower members of aldehydes and ketones (up to $C _{4}$ ) are soluble in water"
+Lower members of aldehydes and ketones (up to $C _{4}$ ) are soluble in water due to **H-bonding between polar carbonyl group and water**.
+
+
+
+==Lower== members of aldehydes and ketones are soluble in water. *(higher/lower?)*
+
+
+
+The solubility of aldehydes and ketones ==decreases== with ==increase== in molecular weight.
+
+
+
+The solubility of aldehydes and ketones ==increases== with ==decrease== in molecular weight.
+
+
+
+###### Explain why : "Aromatic aldehydes and ketones are much less soluble than corresponding aliphatic aldehydes and ketones"
+Aromatic aldehydes and ketones are much less soluble than corresponding aliphatic aldehydes and ketones due to **larger benzene ring**.
+
+
+
+The solubility of aromatic aldehydes and ketones are ==much lower== than corresponding aliphatic aldehydes and ketones. *(higher/lower?)*
+
+
+
+The solubility of aliphatic aldehydes and ketones are ==much higher== than corresponding aromatic aldehydes and ketones. *(higher/lower?)*
+
+
+
+All carbonyl compounds are ==fairly soluble== in organic solvents. *(soluble/insoluble?)*

+
+###### What is intramolecular aldol condensation?
+Intramolecular aldol condensation takes place in diketones and gives rise to cyclic products.
+
+
+
+###### What is crossed aldol condensation?
+Crossed aldol condensation is carried out between two different aldehydes and/or ketones, and if both of them contain $\alpha$ -hydrogen atoms, it gives a mixture of four products.

+
+###### Give the reaction for Cannizzaro reaction.

+# carboxylic acids
+
+In carboxylic acids, the bonds to the carboxyl carbon lie in one plane and are separated by about ==$120^{\circ}$==.
+
+
+
+###### Explain why : "Carboxylic carbon is less electrophilic than carbonyl carbon "
+The carboxylic carbon is less electrophilic than carbonyl carbon because of the possible** resonance structure**.
+
+
+
+The carboxylic carbon is ==less== electrophilic than carbonyl carbon. *(more/less)*
+
+
+
+The carbonyl carbon is ==more== electrophilic than carboxylic carbon. *(more/less)*
