# Identifying Organic Functional Groups in Simple StructuresIn this educational exercise, we explore how to identify organic functional groups within various molecular structures. Below are the details of the molecules shown, along with instructions to recognize the functional groups present:### Molecules and Functional Groups1. **Molecule:** - **Structure:** CH₃—C—CH₃ with a double-bonded oxygen attached to the central carbon (C=O). - **Functional Group:** Ketone2. **Molecule:** - **Structure:** H—C≡C—CH₂—CH₃ - **Functional Group:** *Indicated by a blank space to be identified.*3. **Molecule:** - **Structure:** CH₃—C—NH₂ with a double-bonded oxygen attached to the central carbon (C=O). - **Functional Group:** *Indicated by a blank space to be identified.*4. **Molecule:** - **Structure:** CH₃—CH₂—CH₂—CH with a double-bonded oxygen at the end (C=O). - **Functional Group:** *Indicated by a blank space to be identified.*### Explanation & Guidance- *Ketones* are characterized by a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two carbon atoms.- For the structures needing identification, focus on key elements such as triple bonds, amines, and positioning of the carbonyl group.- Use your knowledge of organic chemistry nomenclature to label each molecule correctly by identifying its functional group.### Interactive Features- The page includes interactive "Explanation" and "Check" buttons that allow users to verify their understanding and obtain further information.This educational tool aids in mastering the identification of functional groups, facilitating deeper comprehension of organic molecular structures.
