Both aldehydes and ketones contain a carbonyl group a functional group with a carbon oxygen double bond, hence the carbonyl in aldehydes and ketones forms sp²hybridization.

Both aldehydes and ketones contain a carbonyl group a functional group with a carbon oxygen double bond, hence the carbonyl in aldehydes and ketones forms sp²hybridization.

Explanation:

The structure of carbonyl group is -C=O-

The hybridization of carbon can be identified by couting the number of surrounding atoms.

In carbonyl compounds, carbon is directly bonded with three atoms.

One is oxygen, and the other two are other carbons.

With oxygen carbon has a double bond.

Hence, this three corresponds to sp2 hybridization.

Thus, the given statement is correct.
