Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the functional groups listed in the problem: Amide, Alcohol, Ether, and Aldehyde.
Understand the structure of a carbonyl group, which is a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom, represented as .
Recognize that an amide is a functional group where a carbonyl group is directly bonded to a nitrogen atom, typically represented as .
Compare the structures of the other functional groups: Alcohols have an group, Ethers have an linkage, and Aldehydes have a carbonyl group bonded to a hydrogen atom, represented as .
Conclude that the functional group characterized by a carbonyl group bonded to a nitrogen atom is an Amide.
