(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The formation of ketone compound from corresponding alcohol needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction: Oxidation of alcohol produces carbonyl compounds (aldehyde and ketone). Primary alcohols produce aldehydes and secondary alcohols produce ketones on oxidation. A transition metal in its higher oxidation state is used for the oxidation of alcohols like chromium in the +6 oxidation state.
