24
Q

What is the IUPAC name for the smallest ketone?

Propanone

25
Q

What is the lettering scheme for carbons in carbonyl-containing compounds?

A

The carbon adjacent to the carbonyl group is the alpha-carbon.

26
Q

What are the carbonyl-containing functional groups?

A

Aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, amides, anhydrides, esters

27
Q

What is the difference between an aldehyde and a ketone?

A

An aldehyde has a carbonyl group on the terminal carbon that is also attached to a hydrogen atom. A ketone has a carbonyl group on a nonterminal carbon.

28
Q

How are anhydrides formed?

A

An anhydride is formed from two carboxylic acids by dehydration.

29
Q

What is a phosphate group?

A

A phosphorous atom bonded to four oxygen atoms; with one of the oxygen atoms double bonded to the phosphate, and the three other oxygen atoms single bonded to the phosphate, one of the oxygen atoms should be bonded to another atom
