The structural unit containing a carbon atom double-bonded to oxygen, whose polarized multiple bond organizes the nomenclature, spectroscopy, and reactivity of carbonyl-containing compounds while substituents determine the specific class.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
The carbonyl group is a functional-group motif defined by a carbon–oxygen double-bond framework; substituents and charge state determine whether a particular molecule is classified as an aldehyde, ketone, acid derivative, or another class.
The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.
wp-chem-organic-chemistryiupac-blue-bookpubchem-docsThis is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
A conventional carbonyl bond description includes a pi component with its characteristic nodal symmetry; conjugation can delocalize that component over a larger molecular framework.
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.

A conventional carbonyl bond description contains a sigma component along the carbon–oxygen internuclear axis; the molecular-orbital description remains the more general account of its electron density.
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.

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