Chapter 11.5, Problem 11.10PP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The following ball and stick model should be converted to skeletal or condensed formula and the functional groups present in the compound should be recognized:

Concept Introduction:

Ball and stick model of molecule is determined by X-ray crystallography, in which the hydrogen atoms are depicted as white balls, carbon atoms as black balls and oxygen atom as red balls.

Organic molecules have some structural features in addition to $\text{C}-\text{H}$ and $\text{C}-\text{C}$ bonds. Functional groups are defined as an atom or group of atom with characteristic physical and chemical properties. Functional group contains multiple bonds, hetero-atom or sometimes both the multiple bonds and hetero-atom.

Table given below gives information about some common functional groups:

Type of Compound	General Structure
Aldehyde
Ketone
Carboxylic acid
Ester
Amide
Alcohol
Amine
Alkene
Ether

Here, R = any carbon backbone
