7
Q
Properties of hydroxyl
A
-polar
-hydrophilic
8
Q
Properties of carbonyl
A
-structural isomer
9
Q
Properties of phosphate
A
Charged, ionizes to release H*
Since phosphate groups can
release H+ ions into solution,
they are considered acidic.
10
Q
Properties of sulfuhudryl
A
Polar
11
Q
Properties of amino
A
Charged, accepts H* to form NH3
Since amino groups can remove
H* from solution, they are
considered basic.
12
Q
Properties of carboxyl
A
Charged, ionizes to release Ht
Since carboxyl groups can release
H* ions into solution, they are
considered acidic.
