Question

Give names of three functional groups containing three different hetero atoms. Write name and structural formula of one example each. Write answers as directed

Answer 1

Functional groups:

       Functional groups are specific atom groups in molecules that have very characteristic properties irrespective of the other atoms in a molecule.

You probably already know a number of them–alcohols, amines, carboxylic acids, ketones and ethers are all common examples of them.

   Below are the examples:

1. A formaldehyde has an aldehyde functional group.

2. An acetone has a ketone functional group.

3. An acetophenone has an acyl functional group.
