Addition of Grignard reagents:

Grignard reagents react along with carbonyl compounds to offer alcohols. Nature of alcohol lies on the nature of carbonyl compound.

Addition of water: Carbonyl compounds react along with water to provide gem diols. This reaction is catalysed by acid. The reaction is called as two way reactions.
