Study Notes
Functional Groups
- Alcohols are characterized by a hydroxyl group (-OH) bound to carbon.
- Aldehydes and ketones are characterized by an oxygen double bond to a central carbon.
- Carboxylates are a type of hydrocarbon derivative that has two oxygen atoms bound to a carbon atom.
- Amines are characterized by an amino group (-NH2) bound to carbon.
- Carboxylic acids are a type of hydrocarbon derivative that has an oxygen and hydroxyl group bound to carbon.
