Aldehyde
An aldehyde is either a functional group consisting of a terminal carbonyl group, or a compound containing a terminal carbonyl group.
Physical properties
The carbonyl group is polar. Oxygen being more electronegative, pulls the bond pair towards itself thus creating electron deficiency at the carbon atom.
