What are you asking....?
Explanation:
A ketone possesses an internal carbonyl, which confers SOME degree of polarity upon an carbon chain. Acetone, the simplest ketone, has solubility in organic solvents, and also SOME capacity to solvate ionic solutes. Acetone can dissolve salts like sodium iodide, and to a lesser degree sodium chloride....and sometimes this is exploited preparatively, i.e. to replace a chloride with an iodide on an hydrocarbyl chain....
