Solution
Each point: 1 Mark
The functional groups present in the following compounds are as follows:-
- CH3−CH2−CH2−OH
Since –OH group is present at the terminal carbon atom, it is an alcohol.
- CH3−CH2−CH2−COOH
Since –COOH group is present at the terminal carbon atom, it is a carboxylic acid.
- CH3−CH2−CHO
Since –CHO group is present at the terminal carbon atom, it is an aldehyde.
- CH3−CO-CH2−CH3
Since –CO (carbonyl) group is present and it is of the form R-CO-R, it is a ketone.
- CH3−CH2−CO-OH
Since -CO-OH is –COOH group and is present at the terminal carbon atom, it is a carboxylic acid.
