MHT CET Chemistry question

Reactivity of Aldehydes and Ketones is mainly due to

(A)Dipole moment
(B)Polarisation
(C)Polarisation due to dipole momentCorrect
(D)Bond angle

Answer: (C)

Solution

The carbonyl carbon carries a partial positive charge because the C=O bond is polarised by the dipole moment (electronegativity difference), making it
