As learnt in

Chemical properties of aldehydes and ketones -

Undergo nucleophilic addition reactions at carbon-oxygen double bond, hybridization of carbon changes from sp2 to  sp2.  Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones due to steric hindrance and  +I effect of an alkyl group.

-

 

 and

Addition of ammonia and its derivatives with aldehydes and ketones -

Product formation is favoured due to rapid dehydration of the intermediate to form  > C = NG

G\:\:may\:be\:\:-OH,\:\:-NH_{2},\:\:-NHC_{6}H_{5},\:\:-NHCONH_{2},\:\:etc

- wherein

 

 Addition product is formed and a water molecule is eliminated.
