I) Match the molecular formula with the correct carbon compound.
- CH3OH → Methanol
- C2H5COOH → Propanoic acid
- C6H6 → Benzene
- CH3CHO → Ethanal
- C4H10 → Butane
- C2H2 → Ethyne
- HCOOH → Methanoic acid
- C3H8 → Propane
II) Identify the functional group present in the carbon compound and name the compound.
A) CH3CH2OH → Functional Group: Hydroxyl, Compound name: Ethanol
B) CH3COCH3 → Functional Group: Carbonyl (ketone), Compound name: Propanone
C) CH3CH2CH2COOH → Functional Group: Carboxyl, Compound name: Butanoic acid
D) C2H5CHO → Functional Group: Aldehyde, Compound name: Propanal
E) C2H5CO C2H5 → Functional Group: Carbonyl (ketone), Compound name: Pentanone
III) Look at the structures and name the compound
- Top left structure: Butanone
- Top right structure: Pentanal
- Bottom left structure: 1-Chloropentane
- Bottom right structure: Propanol
