Detailed explanation-1: -A ketone consists of a single bond to two CH3 or R groups with a double bond to an oxygen molecule. Acetone, 3-B-hydroxybutyrate (3HB), and acetoacetate all contain a ketone group and are therefore very soluble in the body tissues.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ketones are a type of chemical that your liver produces when it breaks down fats. Your body uses ketones for energy typically during fasting, long periods of exercise, or when you don’t have as many carbohydrates. You can have low levels of ketones in your blood without it being a problem.

Detailed explanation-3: -What are Ketones? Ketones are organic compounds which have the functional group C=O. and the structure R-(C=O)-R’. These carbonyl compounds have carbon-containing substituents on both sides of the carbon-oxygen double bond.

Detailed explanation-4: -The carbonyl group, a carbon-to-oxygen double bond, is the defining feature of aldehydes and ketones.
