The functional groups are groups of atoms that replace


The functional groups are groups of atoms that replace atoms on hydrocarbons. Functional groups permit complex organic molecules to be built from simple hydrocarbon starting molecules. A few of the more significant functional groups are listed in the table below.

Functional group Formula
alcohol R-OH
amino R-NH2
aldehyde R-CHO
ketone R-CO-R
carboxylic acid R-COOH

Classify the organic compounds by their functional group.
1.HOCH2CH2CH3
2.CH3CH2COOH
3.CH3CH2CH2CHO
4.CH3COCH3
5.C6H5NH2

The groups are Alcohol, Amine, Carboxylic acid, Ketone and Aldehyde.
