Chemistry - Carbonyl compounds Question with Solution | TestHub

$\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{}\mathrm{\beta }\mathrm{}\mathrm{}\mathrm{}\mathrm{}\mathrm{}\mathrm{}\mathrm{}\mathrm{}\mathrm{}\mathrm{\alpha }\\ \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_3-\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_2-\mathrm{C}\mathrm{H}\mathrm{O}\end{array}$
aldehydes having$\mathrm{\alpha }-\mathrm{H}$atom can participate in aldol condensation. The$\mathrm{H}-$atom attached to$\mathrm{\alpha }$carbon atom are called$\mathrm{\alpha }-$hydrogen.
