  • Acetone: Understanding Its Molecular Classification as a Ketone
    Acetone is a ketone.

    Here's why:

    * Ketones are organic compounds containing a carbonyl group (C=O) where the carbon atom is bonded to two other carbon atoms.

    * The chemical formula for acetone is (CH₃)₂CO, which shows that the carbonyl group is bonded to two methyl groups (CH₃).
