Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

Proton have a positive charge. They can be seen in the nucleus of an atom and they are useful in binding of the nucleus while also attracting the electrons that are negatively charged

The statement that the proton transfer reaction occurs when the carbonyl compound is placed in aqueous acidic solution is true. After this, water and also a conjugate acid which is charged are produced.
