Explain why there is no such a compound called
“ethanone”.
Ketones are compounds with the carbonyl group
situated between two carbon chains or carbon
rings. Therefore, the simplest ketone is the one
with three carbon atoms. “Ethanone”, however,
suggests that there are two carbon atoms in it
and it does not exist.
