Generally Aldehydes behave as:

1. Oxidising agent

2. Reducing agent

3. Dehydration agent

4. Oxidizing as well as reducing agent

Compound (A) C₅H₁₀O forms a phenyl hydrazone and gives negative Tollen's and iodoform tests. Compound (A) on reduction gives n-pentane. Compound (A) is:

1. a primary alcohol

2. an aldehyde

3. a ketone
