In introductory organic chemistry courses, students learn about reaction mechanisms, often by drawing neat arrows connecting one intermediate state to the next until ending with a final product.

In this article, students will get revision notes on Chapter 12: Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids based on NCERT Class 12 Chemistry textbook. This article is a continuation of the revision ...
