Looking at structure 4, I can see a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom (C=O) where the carbon is also bonded to one hydrogen atom and one carbon atom. This is the carbonyl functional group in an aldehyde configuration.
The chemical formula for the aldehyde functional group is -CHO or -C(=O)H.
Now I have identified all four functional groups:
1. Structure 1: Alcohol (-OH)
2. Structure 2: Carboxyl (-COOH)
3. Structure 3: Ketone (>C=O)
4. Structure 4: Aldehyde (-CHO)
I'll provide the complete answer with the functional group names and their chemical formulas as requested in the worksheet.
Answer:
1. Alcohol, -OH
2. Carboxyl, -COOH
3. Ketone, >C=O (or -C(=O)-)
4. Aldehyde, -CHO (or -C(=O)H)
