Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the functional groups listed in the problem: Carboxyl group, Hydroxyl group, Carbonyl group, and Amino group.
Understand the basic structure of each functional group: Carboxyl group (\(\text{COOH}\)), Hydroxyl group (\(\text{OH}\)), Carbonyl group (\(\text{C=O}\)), and Amino group (\(\text{NH}_2\)).
Recognize that the presence of a nitrogen atom is a key characteristic of the Amino group.
Compare the structures of the functional groups to determine which one contains a nitrogen atom.
Conclude that the Amino group is the only functional group among the options that contains a nitrogen atom.
