Which of the following functional groups is characterized by a carbonyl group bonded to a nitrogen atom?
A
Alcohol
B
Aldehyde
C
Amide
D
Ether
Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the functional groups listed in the problem: Alcohol, Aldehyde, Amide, and Ether.
Understand the structure of each functional group: Alcohols contain an -OH group, Aldehydes have a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to at least one hydrogen, Amides have a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to a nitrogen atom, and Ethers have an oxygen atom connected to two alkyl or aryl groups.
Focus on the requirement of the problem: a carbonyl group bonded to a nitrogen atom.
Recognize that the functional group with a carbonyl group bonded to a nitrogen atom is an Amide.
Conclude that the correct answer is Amide, as it matches the description given in the problem.
