Multiple Choice
Which of the following functional groups contains a carbonyl group bonded to a nitrogen atom?
A
Ether
B
Alcohol
C
Amide
D
Carboxylic acid
Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the functional groups listed in the problem: Ether, Alcohol, Amide, and Carboxylic acid.
Understand the structure of a carbonyl group, which is a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom (C=O).
Recognize that an amide functional group consists of a carbonyl group (C=O) directly bonded to a nitrogen atom (N).
Review the structures of the other functional groups: Ether (R-O-R'), Alcohol (R-OH), and Carboxylic acid (R-COOH), 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 the Amide.
