A) \[HCHO\]
B) \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]
C) \[C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}\]
D) \[~{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
lodoform test is given by those compounds which have \[-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{|\,\,|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}\] group or on oxidation yields this group. Formaldehyde does not have \[-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{|\,\,|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}\] group, hence it does not give iodoform test.
