Question

Name the functional groups present in ${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{CHO}$and ${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{COCH}}_3$ ?

Answer 1

The functional groups present in the given molecules :

${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{CHO}:$

• The given compound is named as Acetadehyde .
• it is known as a colorless but flammable liquid, which is used to manufacture perfumes,acetic acid and flavours.
• The functional group present in ${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{CHO}$ is Aldehyde .
• The chemical structure of ${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{CHO}$ can be given as:

${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{COCH}}_3:$

• The given compound is named as Acetone .
• Acetone is found to be present in small amounts in urine and in large amounts in the blood sample of a diabetic patient.
• Also the usage of this should be in moderation ,as it becomes highly toxic when used in more quantities .
• The functional group present in ${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{COCH}}_3$ is Ketone .
• The chemical structure of ${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{COCH}}_3$ can be given as:

Hence, The functional groups present in ${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{CHO}$: Aldehyde and ${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{COCH}}_3$: Ketone .
