    Which gives nucleophilic addition most easily:

    A) \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]

    B) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}CHO\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{3}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,CHO\]

    D) \[HCHO\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Among carbonyl compounds, reactivity decreases with increase in alkyl group as these groups (due to +1 effect) decrease polarity of\[x=0\]bond. Hence\[HCHO\]is the most reactive.
