Multiple Choice
Which of the following functional groups contains a carbonyl group bonded to a nitrogen atom?
A
Alcohol
B
Ether
C
Amide
D
Aldehyde
Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the functional groups listed in the problem: Alcohol, Ether, Amide, and Aldehyde.
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: Alcohol (R-OH), Ether (R-O-R'), and Aldehyde (R-CHO), none of which have a carbonyl group bonded to a nitrogen atom.
Conclude that the functional group containing a carbonyl group bonded to a nitrogen atom is the Amide.
