Chapter 11.5, Problem 11.8P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

To recognize the functional group / groups in the following compound:

Concept Introduction:

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

Here, R = any carbon backbone

Complete structural formula of a molecule represents all the atoms of molecule, types of bonds connecting atoms and how atoms are connected to each other.
