Aldehyde is acidic or basic
Ketone is acidic or basic

Open in App
Solution

Dear Student,

All the three are neither acidic nor basic. They are neutral compounds. They can however be used in acidic as well as basic medium.
For eg. KMnOā€‹4 behaves differently depending upon the condition. It converts to Mn2+ ion in acidic condition and to MnO2 in basic conditions.
