Correct This is an amino group, NH2. Part B Which of these is a phosphate group? Correct Of the choices, this is the only one that contains phosphorus. Part C Which of these is a hydroxyl group? Correct This is a hydroxyl group. Part D Which of these is a carboxyl group? Correct This is a carboxyl group. Part E Which of these functional groups is characteristic
of alcohol? Correct Hydroxyl groups are characteristic of alcohol. Part F Which
of the functional groups behaves as a base? Correct The electronegativity of nitrogen means that amino groups tend to pick up hydrogen ions. Part G Which of these groups is characteristic of thiols? Correct Thiols are characterized by the presence of a sulfhydryl group. Part H Which of these groups plays a major role in energy transfer? Correct Phosphate groups are a component of ATP. Part I Which of these is a carbonyl group? Correct This is a carbonyl group. Part J Which of these functional groups is characteristic of a
ketone? Correct A carbonyl group in the middle of a carbon skeleton characterizes ketones. Part K Which of functional groups listed below behaves as an acid? Correct By donating hydrogen ions, carboxyl groups act as an acid. Which of the following is characteristic of alcohol?Alcohol has three major characteristics; it is a nutrient (energy source), a psycho-active drug and a toxin.
What is the functional group of an alcohol called?An alcohol is an organic compound with a hydroxyl (OH) functional group on an aliphatic carbon atom. Because OH is the functional group of all alcohols, we often represent alcohols by the general formula ROH, where R is an alkyl group.
What are the characteristics of functional groups?Answer. Answer: A functional group is a group of atoms with specific physical, chemical, and reactivity properties. Functional groups in organic chemistry are important for many future topics, including their predictable characteristics, nomenclature, reactivity, synthesis, spectroscopy, and more.
Which functional group is found in alcohols quizlet?The functional group of an alcohol is an --OH (hydroxyl) group bonded to a tetrahedral carbon atom (a carbon having single bonds to four other atoms).
