Alkenes and carbonyl compounds both contain a bond but alkenes show electrophilic addition reactions whereas carbonyl compounds show nucleophilic addition reactions. Explain.
Nature of chemical reaction occurring on >C=C.< bond or >C=0 bond can be explained on the basis of nature of bond between >C=C< and >C=O.
Due to the electronegativity difference between carbon and oxygen Thus, in > C = O carbon acquires partially positive charge and O acquires partially negative. charge and show nucleophilic addition reaction to the electrophilic carbonyl carbon. On the other hand, >C=C< undergo electrophilic addition reaction due to nucleophilic nature of >C=C< which contains bond.
and carbonyl compounds 
both contain a bond but alkenes show electrophilic addition reactions whereas carbonyl compounds show nucleophilic addition reactions. Explain.
