1. Carbonyl Compounds in Daily Life

• Examples:

  • Identify three everyday products that contain aldehydes or ketones (e.g., formaldehyde in disinfectants, acetone in nail polish remover, vanillin in food flavoring).

  • Briefly explain the role of the carbonyl compound in each product.

2. Medicinal Applications

• Examples:

  • Explore the use of aldehydes or ketones in medicine (e.g., formaldehyde in vaccines, cortisone containing a ketone group for inflammation).

  • Explain why these compounds are effective in their applications.

3. Environmental or Green Chemistry Angle

• Examples:

  • Investigate how green chemistry principles are applied to processes involving aldehydes or ketones (e.g., bio-based production of acetone, reducing waste in formaldehyde production).

  • Provide a short example of an eco-friendly innovation.
