Transcribed Image Text:### Identifying Types of Organic Compounds
This question is designed to test your understanding of organic functional groups. Please closely examine the diagram below:
**Question 15 of 19:**
Identify the type of organic compound shown below:
```
CH3
|
CH3 - C = O
|
O
|
CH3
```
**Options:**
- A) Aldehyde
- B) Ester
- C) Amine
- D) Ketone
For this particular example, the structure displayed includes a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to an oxygen atom, which is further bonded to another carbon atom. Additionally, two carbon atoms (identified as methyl groups, CH3) are bonded to the central carbon atom.
**Correct Answer: D) Ketone**
### Explanation
Ketones are characterized by a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two hydrocarbon groups. In this example, the central carbon atom is bonded to two methyl groups (CH3). The presence of the C=O bond in the middle and its attachment to two carbon atoms confirms that this compound is a ketone.
Understanding the structures and types of various organic compounds, such as aldehydes, esters, amines, and ketones, is crucial in organic chemistry. Each of these functional groups has distinctive properties and reactivity. Recognizing these can help predict the behavior of the compound in different chemical reactions.
