22
Q

Aldehydes

A

carbonyl group found at the end of carbon chain end in -al

23
Q

Ketone

A

carbonyl group found in the middle of a chain get the ending -one

24
Q

Carboxylic Acids

A

have both carbonxyl and hydroxyl group (-OH) on a terminal (end) carbon

end in - oic acid

25
Q

esters

A

Common carboxylic acid deriviative , the hydroxyl group (-OH) is replaced with the alkoxy group (-OR) where R is a hydrocarbon chain

gets the end -oate

26
Q

Amide

A

carboxylic acid deriviative , the hydroxyl group is replaced with a amino group (nitrogen containing group)

Subsituents are named with the beginning -N and suffix is-Amide

27
Q

Anhydrides

A

carboxyl acid water molecule is removed and a bond b/t two carboxylic acidsmolecules are formed

named by replacing acid with Anhydride
