प्रश्न
Explain why:
(1) Acetaldehyde undergoes aldol condensation but formaldehyde does not.
(2) Acetic acid is a weaker acid as compared to formic acid.
उत्तर
(1) This is because acetaldehyde has α - H-atom whereas formaldehyde does not have α-H-atom.
(2) This is due to + I effect of a methyl group (CH3-)
