Organic Chemistry Functional Groups Quiz

Hydroxyl groups consist of an oxygen atom bonded to a hydrogen atom, characteristic of alcohols.

Carboxyl groups consist of a carbonyl group bonded to a hydroxyl group, characteristic of carboxylic acids.

Amino groups consist of a nitrogen atom bonded to hydrogen atoms, characteristic of amines.

Ketones have a carbonyl group bonded to two other carbon atoms, characteristic of ketones.

Aldehyde groups consist of a carbonyl group bonded to a hydrogen atom, characteristic of aldehydes.

Ethers have two alkyl or aryl groups bonded to an oxygen atom, characteristic of ethers.

Ester groups consist of a carbonyl group bonded to an oxygen atom and another alkyl or aryl group, characteristic of esters.

Nitrile groups consist of a carbon triple-bonded to a nitrogen atom, characteristic of nitriles.

Halide groups consist of halogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms, characteristic of halogenoalkanes.

Amide groups consist of a carbonyl group bonded to a nitrogen atom and another alkyl or aryl group, characteristic of amides.

Alkenes have a carbon-carbon double bond, characteristic of alkenes.

Acyl halide groups consist of a carbonyl group bonded to a halogen atom, characteristic of acyl halides.

Thioether groups have two alkyl or aryl groups bonded to a sulfur atom, characteristic of thioethers.

Imine groups consist of a carbon-nitrogen double bond, characteristic of imines.
