WHAT DOES KETONE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ketone

In chemistry, a ketone /ˈkiːtoʊn/ is an organic compound with the structure RCR', where R and R' can be a variety of carbon-containing substituents. Ketones and Aldehydes are simple compounds that contain a carbonyl group. They are considered "simple" because they don't have reactive groups like -OH or -Cl attached directly to the carbon atom in the carbonyl group, as in carboxylic acids containing -COOH. Many ketones are known and many are of great importance in industry and in biology. Examples include many sugars and the industrial solvent acetone.
