Aldehydes -CHO show resonance in which the C=O Double bond is converted into a single bond. This leads to formation of charged ions . But Nucleophiles or e- rich species attack the positive charged ion and thus get attached to it, leading to a nucleophilic addition. It occurs more easily in Aldehydes than Ketones because Aldehydes show resonance while Ketones don't. hope it help bro

very appropriate answer. thank you Darshan

Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones towards Nucleophiles due to steric and electronic reason. sterically the presence of 2 relatively large substitute in ketones hinders the Approach of Nucleophile to carbonyl carbon than aldehyde having only 1 such subunits. electronically aldehyde are more reactive than ketones becoz the presence of 2 alkyl grp in ketones exert +I effect which increases electron density on carbonyl carbon thereby reducing the elecyrophillicity on carbonyl carbon than in aldehydes where only one alkyl grp is present.
