Chapter 25, Problem 6QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The group to which the given compounds belong is to be named.

Concept introduction:

Functional groups are specific substituent within the molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reaction of those molecules.

A group of organic compounds with the same kind of functional group forms a family.

Aldehydes are the organic compounds thatcontain $-\text{CHO}$ as a functional group.

Alcohols are the organic compounds thatcontain $-\text{OH}$ as a functional group.

Ketones are the organic compounds thatcontain $-\text{CO}-$ as a functional group.

Amines are the organic compounds thatcontain $-\text{N}$ as a functional group.

Carboxylic acids are the organic compounds thatcontain $-\text{COOH}$ as a functional group.

Esters are theorganic compounds thatcontain $-\text{COO}-$ as a functional group.

Amides are the organic compounds thatcontain $-\text{CONH}$ as a functional group.
