True
Further explanation
Aldehydes are alkane-derived compounds containing the functional group (-CO-) located at the end of the parent carbon chain
The general structure is R-CHO with the molecular formula CnH2nO
Naming is generally the same as the alkane by replacing the suffix with -al
Acetaldehyde(ethanal) is an aldehyde which has 2 C atoms with formula
[tex]\boxed{\bold{C_2H_4O}}[/tex]
The bond between the C atom and the O atom is a double bond
So the C atom has a single bond with H and alkyl and double bonds with O
R - C - H

O
