I was wondering since ketone is a carbon double bonded to an oxygen and 2 R-groups.... When one of the R-group appear to be hydrogen, the whole thing becomes aldehyde....so can you say aldehyde is also a ketone?

thats right a ketone is a carbon double bonded to O and then 2 r groups, and aldehyde has R group, and an H.
This does not make aldehyde a ketone however, because R group must be carbons.
Both are carbonyls, c double bonded to O, but both are not ketones.

u r suited with the 1st 2 however the third one is incorrect ans for 3) is "c" aldehyde has HC=O useful team alkyl halide have R-X the place X is any halide ketone has O=CR2 formulation

I personally would not say that.
But I am not sure if technically you *could* say that. It might be possible that it is not technically incorrect to say that.
Either way, in the real world, that would be a wrong thing to say. Don't do it.

No, they are chemically quite different.
