Nucleophilic addition reaction will be most favoured in
A.CH3CH2CHO
B.CH3CHO✓ Correct
D.(CH3)2C = O
Explanation
Both aldehydes and ketones are very reactive towards the Nucleophilic addition reaction, because carbonyl group is a very reactive group. So, the reactivity of the carbonyl group can be decided the magnitude of the positive charge on the carbonyl group. So, the compounds that have least methyl group will have the highest positive charge and will have highest reactivity. So, CH3CHO will have highest reactivity.
