Which of the following functional groups contains a carbonyl group bonded to a nitrogen atom?
A
Amide
B
Aldehyde
C
Ether
D
Alcohol
Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the functional groups listed in the problem: Amide, Aldehyde, Ether, and Alcohol.
Understand the structure of a carbonyl group, which is a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom (C=O).
Recognize that an amide is a functional group where the carbonyl group (C=O) is directly bonded to a nitrogen atom (N).
Review the structures of the other functional groups: Aldehyde (R-CHO), Ether (R-O-R'), and Alcohol (R-OH), noting that none of these have a carbonyl group bonded to a nitrogen atom.
Conclude that the functional group containing a carbonyl group bonded to a nitrogen atom is an amide.
