Question 1

How do native speakers pronounce "hexanone" in English?

Accepted Answer

In natural English speech, "hexanone" appears in contexts such as: "Aldehydes, instead of ‘-ol’ you add ‘-al’, so from ethane you get ethanal. Ketones, add '-one', so a ketone of a hexane would be hexanone, and amines, you just add '-amine' to the end so methenamine or propanamine. Super easy. For caboxylic acids, you have to identify it's an acid, so you end in acid, that's obvious, but instead of adding '-ylic' you add '-oic'.".
