Q. Statement 1 : Halogen acids donot add on to carbonyl bond
Statement 2 : Addition depends upon the polarization of $H X$ and carbonyl bond

Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

The high degree of polarity in $H X$ as well as in carbonyl bond shows the easy addition of $HX$ on carbonyl bond but as soon as the addition products are formed, the products loses to $HX$ to show the backward reaction
