(a) NOTE : Addition of HCN to carbonyl compounds is nucleophilic addition reaction. The order of reactivity of carbonyl compounds is

Aldehydes (smaller to higher) Ketones (smaller to higher), Then

HCHO > CH base 3COCH base 3 > Ph.COCH base 3 > PhCOPh

NOTE : The lower reactivity of Ketones is due to presence of two alkyl group which shows +1 effect. The reactivity oof Ketones decreases as the size of alkyl group increases.
