NEET Chemistry Nucleophilic Addition Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Aldehydes and ketones undergo nucleophilic addition reactions due to the presence of a carbonyl group.
Reason (R): The carbonyl carbon atom in aldehydes and ketones is electrophilic, making it susceptible to attack by nucleophiles.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
