Open in App
Solution

  • Acyl group contains a carbonyl group attached to an alkyl group (R—C=O).
  • The acetyl group contains a carbonyl group attached to a methyl group (CH3—C=O).
  • In general, they both are different when R is any other alkyl group than CH3.
  • The acetyl group can be considered as a sub-part of a bulk group that is Acyl.
