1. Identify the organic compound type for each of the following (for example: ketone, ester, etc)
A. Propanol
B. CH3COOH
C. ROR
D. CH3NH2
E. Methyl methanoate
I will be happy to critique your thinking on this.
I tried looking it up and etc but I couldn’t find anything about it. I don’t even know none of the things listen in there. Or what ketone or ester is
Look at this site and scroll down to the table which will show the names of B, C, D.
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Organic_Chemistry/Overview_of_Functional_Groups
For A and E, just type in the name and follow Google. Wikipedia is a good site; e.g. I found both propanol and methyl methanoate there with names and a lot of information about each.
Thank you so much.
To identify the organic compound type for each of the following compounds, we need to analyze their chemical structures and functional groups. Here's how you can determine the compound type for each:
A. Propanol:
Propanol belongs to the alcohol organic compound type. It is an alcohol because it contains the -OH functional group. The -OH group is attached to a carbon atom, which is characteristic of alcohols.
B. CH3COOH:
CH3COOH is the chemical formula for acetic acid, which is an organic acid. It belongs to the carboxylic acid organic compound type. The -COOH functional group is referred to as a carboxyl group, which consists of a carbonyl group (C=O) and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the same carbon atom.
C. ROR:
ROR is the general formula for ethers, which belong to the organic compound type called ethers. Ethers contain an oxygen atom bonded to two alkyl or aryl groups. In this case, R represents alkyl or aryl groups, which can be any specific organic groups.
D. CH3NH2:
CH3NH2 is the chemical formula for methylamine, which is an organic compound that belongs to the amine functional group. Methylamine consists of a methyl group (-CH3) attached to an amino (NH2) group.
E. Methyl methanoate:
Methyl methanoate is an ester compound. It is classified as an ester because it consists of an alkyl group (methyl group, -CH3) attached to a carbonyl group (formyl group, -CHO) via an oxygen atom.
By examining the chemical structures of the compounds and their functional groups, we can classify them accordingly.
