Q. Reactivity towards nucleophilic addition reaction of I. HCHO II.$CH_{3}CHO$ III. $CH_{3}COCH_{3}$ is
A) II>III>I
B) III>II>I
C) I>II>III
D) I>III>II
Explanation
(c)
The nucleophilic addition reaction is the characteristic addition of carbonyl compounds. Reactivity order of carbonyl compounds is in the order.
