3. Propanone

4. Butanone

5. Physical properties
 Physical
state: Butanone and propanone are
liquids at room temperature
 Boiling points higher than the corresponding
alkanes, due to polar δ+C = Oδ- group, but
lower than the corresponding alcohols
 Short chain ketones such as propanone are
soluble in water due to the polar carbonyl
group
 Ketones are soluble in non-polar solvents

6. Uses of propanone
 Propanone
is used as a solvent (e.g. In nail
varnish remover)

7. Uses of propanone
 Propanone
is used as a solvent (e.g. In nail
varnish remover)
