Chapter 15, Problem 15.49AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Functional groups should be identified given the carvone molecule.

Concept Introduction:

Functional group: They are certain substitutes in the organic molecules which are determine the characteristic reactions taking place in it.

Carbonyl group:

A carbon atom is double-bonded to an oxygen atom $(C=O)$ is called as carbonyl group which is one of the functional group.

If the carbonyl carbon is attached with two alkyl or aryl group is called as ketone, if the carbonyl carbon is attached with one hydrogen atom and one alkyl or aryl group is called as aldehyde.

Alkenes:

Alkenes are a class of hydrocarbons. The carbon-carbon double bond is called as alkenes and it is also called as olefins.
