ketone functional groups
Ketone functional groups refer to a specific type of chemical group found in organic molecules. They consist of a carbon atom bonded to two other carbon atoms via double bonds, and the remaining two bonds are occupied by oxygen atoms. This configuration creates a distinct chemical structure that imparts unique properties and reactivity to the molecule.
