In organic chemistry terms the difference between amine and ketone
is that amine is any organic compound containing an amine functional group while ketone is a homologous series of organic molecules whose functional group is an oxygen atom joined to a carbon atom—by a double bond—in a carbon-hydrogen based molecule.
As nouns the difference between amine and ketone
is that amine is a functional group formally derived from ammonia by replacing one, two or three hydrogen atoms with hydrocarbon or other radicals while ketone is a homologous series of organic molecules whose functional group is an oxygen atom joined to a carbon atom—by a double bond—in a carbon-hydrogen based molecule.
