Transcribed Image Text:This image represents an exercise where chemical compounds need to be categorized under their respective functional groups. There are four empty categories: Carboxylic acid, Amide, Ester, and Other functional group. Students are expected to match the given chemical formulas with these categories.
The provided chemical compounds are:
1. CH3COOH
2. CH3CH2CNH2
3. CH3CH2CONHCH3
4. CH3CNH2
5. CH3OCH3
6. CH3COCH3
7. CH3COOCH2CH3
Functional Group Categories:
- **Carboxylic acid**: Typically has a -COOH group. Example: CH3COOH (Acetic acid)
- **Amide**: Contains a carbonyl group (C=O) attached to a nitrogen atom. Example: CH3CH2CONHCH3
- **Ester**: Characterized by a carbonyl group (C=O) linked to an oxygen atom, which is also attached to another carbon. Example: CH3COOCH2CH3
- **Other functional group**: Compounds that do not fit into the above categories. Examples could include ethers and nitriles, such as CH3OCH3 and CH3CH2CNH2, respectively.
By categorizing these compounds correctly, students learn to identify functional groups in organic molecules.
