1) O-atom 2) C-atom 3) -CO-atom 4) -CO2... 3) -CO-atom. Diketones have two carbonyl groups in their molecular structure, hence the "di" in their name.. .

A diketone is simply a molecule with two ketone groups. A ketone is a carbon atom attached to two adjacent carbon atoms and containing a C=O (carbon double-bonded to an oxygen). The Wikipedia pages shows drawings. The C=O group is the most important thing.

There are other molecules with CO groups in them. Aldehydes, and carboxylic acids. The difference is that the carbon aldehyde is bonded to only one carbon and to one hydrogen atom.

Aldehyde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldehyde)

In a carboxylic acid, the carbon is bonded to one carbon and to one hydroxyl (OH) group.

Carboxylic acid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxylic_acid)

Can you figure out your question now? I would have preferred that there were two lines connected to the carbon

"=CO" or maybe more preferably ">CO"
