Addition Reactions
When a polar molecule adds to the carbonyl group
of an aldehyde or ketone,
 the negative part of the added molecule bonds to the
positive carbonyl carbon
 the positive part of the added molecule bonds to the
negative carbonyl oxygen

Hemiacetal Formation
A hemiacetal is
 an intermediate produced when one alcohol adds to
the carbonyl group of an aldehyde or ketone
 usually unstable and difficult to isolate
