To which family of organic compounds does CH3COCH2CH2CH3 belong?

I think:

CH3COCH2CH2CH3 belongs to ketone because it has a carbonyl group C=O in its structure.

it is the most commonly accepted one

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
