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
esters
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
Amide
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
Anhydrides
carboxyl acid water molecule is removed and a bond b/t two carboxylic acidsmolecules are formed
named by replacing acid with Anhydride
28
Diols
contain two hydroxyl groups
29
Geminal
Diols with the same carbon
30
Vicinal
if 1 carbon is adjacent in a diol
