for the topscore test 1, can someone explain q76 in the natural sciences section. how does an aldehyde with a ketone in presence of a base and H+ make an aldol? and also, can someone explain to me what nonplanar (q77 science section) is and some examples? Thanks very much for the help!!!

first of all it is not exactly an aldol is is a MIXED aldol which will yield 4 different products.

in a regular aldol you react the same molecule twice to give you one product.
