Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

A carbonyl compound contains a carbonyl group as a specified structural component, although the full compound's behavior also depends on all other substituents, conformation, phase, and reaction conditions.

How to interpret this relation type

The source is a material constituent, structural component, or underlying quantum field whose excitation realizes the target physical system or particle. The edge label and detail must distinguish composition from field excitation; neither implies a simple classical sum of parts.

Organic compoundCarbonyl compound

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Carbonyl compounds form a broad organic compound class united by a carbonyl functional group but divided into distinct subclasses by the groups attached to its carbon.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.
