Question

Which of the following correctly shows what is produced as a result of increased oxidation of carbon?
A)alcohol > aldehyde > ketone > carboxylic acid
B)alkene > alcohol > aldehyde > carboxylic acid
C)ketone > alcohol > carboxylic acid > aldehyde
D)alcohol > alkene > ketone > aldehyde

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence for the increased oxidation of carbon is from alkene (which can be hydrated to form an alcohol), to alcohol, then to aldehyde, and finally to carboxylic acid. This sequence represents the typical oxidation pathway for organic molecules, with each step increasing the oxygen content or decreasing the hydrogen content of the molecule.
