Expert Answer:
CHO group cannot be present in the middle of any chain because in CHO , carbon is attached to one hydrogen and doubly bonded to oxygen ,since hydrogen can only form one bond and carbon can form only 4 covalent bond so the only possilble position for -CHO is at the terminal of the chain
