Let's go through each compound in the worksheet and identify the functional group by describing what it is, circling it (in text form), and writing its name.

1.


```
H H
| |
H - C - C - O - H
| |
H H
```

- The –OH group (hydroxyl) is attached to a carbon.
- This is an alcohol functional group.

Functional Group: Alcohol
🔹 Circle: `–O–H` at the end

---

2.


```
H
|
H - C - C = O
| |
H H
```

- A carbon double-bonded to oxygen (`C=O`) with a hydrogen attached directly to that carbonyl carbon.
- This is an aldehyde.

Functional Group: Aldehyde
🔹 Circle: `C=O` where the carbonyl carbon has a H attached

---

3.


```
H O H
| || |
H - C - C - C - H
| |
H H
```

- A carbon double-bonded to oxygen (`C=O`) between two carbon atoms.
- This is a ketone.

Functional Group: Ketone
🔹 Circle: `C=O` in the middle of the chain

---

4.


```
H O H
| || |
H - C - C - O - C - H
| | |
H H H
```

- A carbonyl group (`C=O`) bonded to an oxygen that is connected to another carbon.
- This is an ester functional group (`–COOR`).

Functional Group: Ester
🔹 Circle: `C=O` and `–O–` together as `–COO–`

---

5.


```
H O
| ||
H - C - C - O - H
|
H
```

- A carbonyl group (`C=O`) bonded to a hydroxyl group (`–OH`).
- This is a carboxylic acid.

Functional Group: Carboxylic Acid
🔹 Circle: `C(=O)–O–H`

---

6.


```
CH₃–CH₂–C=O
|
CH₃
```

- A carbonyl group (`C=O`) bonded to two carbon atoms (not terminal).
- This is a ketone.

Functional Group: Ketone
🔹 Circle: `C=O` in the center

---

7.


```
H H
| |
H - C - C - N - H
| | |
H H H
```

- A nitrogen atom bonded to three hydrogens and a carbon chain.
- This is a amine (specifically a primary amine, but just "amine" is sufficient).

Functional Group: Amine
🔹 Circle: `–NH₂` group

---

8.


```
H H
| |
H - C - C - H
| |
H H
```

- Only carbon and hydrogen; no heteroatoms or multiple bonds.
- This is alkane, but no functional group present.

Functional Group: None (or Alkane if required)
🔹 Circle: Nothing — this is not a functional group

> Note: Functional groups are specific reactive sites like –OH, C=O, etc. This molecule has no functional group.

Final Answers:



| Number | Structure | Functional Group |
|--------|-----------|------------------|
| 1 | ![Structure 1] | Alcohol |
| 2 | ![Structure 2] | Aldehyde |
| 3 | ![Structure 3] | Ketone |
| 4 | ![Structure 4] | Ester |
| 5 | ![Structure 5] | Carboxylic Acid |
| 6 | ![Structure 6] | Ketone |
| 7 | ![Structure 7] | Amine |
| 8 | ![Structure 8] | None (or Alkane) |

🔍 Summary of Functional Groups:


- Alcohol: –OH attached to carbon
- Aldehyde: –CHO (carbonyl at end)
- Ketone: >C=O (carbonyl in middle)
- Ester: –COOR
- Carboxylic Acid: –COOH
- Amine: –NH₂ or similar
- Alkyl Halide: C–X (X = halogen) → *Not present here*
- Ether: R–O–R' → *Not present here*
