Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the functional groups listed in the problem: Sulfate group, Carboxyl group, Amino group, and Hydroxyl group.
Understand the definition of a functional group: A functional group is a specific group of atoms within a molecule that is responsible for a characteristic chemical reaction of that molecule.
Review common functional groups in organic chemistry: Carboxyl group (\(\text{COOH}\)), Amino group (\(\text{NH}_2\)), and Hydroxyl group (\(\text{OH}\)) are all common functional groups.
Consider the Sulfate group: The Sulfate group (\(\text{SO}_4^{2-}\)) is typically found in inorganic chemistry and is not commonly considered a functional group in organic molecules.
Conclude that the Sulfate group is not a functional group commonly found in organic molecules, unlike the Carboxyl, Amino, and Hydroxyl groups.
