Answer:
The order of reactivity is linked
with the steric hindrance or crowding of the groups around the carbonyl group.
Greater the extent of steric hindrance, less will be the reactivity. The
increasing order of reactivity towards HCN (or \[C{{N}^{-}}\] ion) is:
Di-tertiary butyl ketone < Methyl
tertiary butyl ketone < Acetone < Acetaldehyde.
