Step-by-step solution for: Functional Groups Worksheet #3 | Exercises Chemistry | Docsity
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.

```
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
---
```
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
---
```
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
---
```
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–`
---
```
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`
---
```
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
---
```
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
---
```
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.
