The formulas for acetaldehyde is incomplete, and the one for acetophenone (methyl phenyl ketone) doesn't show the full structure, with the benzene ring.
acetaldehyde is H₃CCH=O
acetophenone is H₃CC=O attached to a ring that can only be drawn using HTML (which I doubt Yahoo allows), but it consists of 6 carbons connected in a ring by bonds of multiplicity 1.5 (the resonance form combining two canonical forms of alternating single and double), with each but the one at the carbonyl attached to a hydrogen atom.
I don't know if you wanted that kind of detail, or rather if your teacher or prof did, but you got it anyway. :)

Actually, there is a way for me to show you the structure of acetophenone (both the resonant representation and the canonical form): http://hspost.com/acetophenone.gif

Diethyl ketone: H3CH2COCH2CH3
Methyl ethyl ketone: H3CC=OCH2CH3
Acetaldehyde: H3CHO
Methyl phenyl ketone: H3CC=OC6H5

Sometimes I like to paint myself brown and roll in a toilet bowl.
