The compounds grouped 

 under this head are in their 

 nature in some cases alde- 

 hydes, in others ketones. They 

 may be combined into more 

 complex anhydrides or ethe- 

 real derivatives. They con- 

 sist of carbon, hydrogen and 

 oxygen in the proportion 

 CxH2yOy in which x and y 

 may be equal, or y may be one 

 or more less than x (e.g. 

 C6H12O6, C12H22O11, etc.). 

 Mostly x = 6 or a multiple of 

 6. The forms with low value 

 for X (5 or 6 or 12) are soluble
