What type of organic compound contains the following functional group?


A carbonyl group, which is a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom, bonded to a carbon atom and a hydrogen atom.

Answer


Aldehyde


Amino acid


Carboxylic acid


Ether

Verified Answer :

Answer: The correct answer is Aldehyde.

Explanation:

Functional groups are defined as the groups which have their own characteristic properties in an organic compound.

Aldehyde is a functional group having general formula RCHO, where R is any other group like alkyl, aryl or hydrogen atom.

Amino acid is a functional group having general formula \(R-CH(NH_2)-COOH\) where R is any other group like alkyl, aryl or hydrogen atom.

Carboxylic acid is a functional group having general formula RCOOH, where R is any other group like alkyl, aryl or hydrogen atom.

Ether is a functional group having general formula ROR', where R and R' is any other group like alkyl, aryl or hydrogen atom.

Aldehyde is known as a carbonyl group in which carbon is attached to oxygen by a double bond and to hydrogen by a single bond and to another carbon atom by a single bond.

Hence, the correct answer is Aldehyde.

A carbonyl group, which is a carbon atom double-bonded to oxygen atoms, bonded to a carbon atom and a hydrogen atom is an aldehyde

Further explanation

Alkane derivatives are compounds derived from alkanes by replacing one / more H atoms with functional groups

A function group is a determinant group

Some examples of these functional groups along with their general formulas include:

  • alcohol, -OH, CnH2n + 2O
  • ether, -O-, CnH2n + 2O
  • aldehyde, -COH, CnH2nO
  • ketone, -CO-, CnH2nO
  • carboxylic acid, -COOH, CnH2nO2
  • esters, -COOR, CnH2nO2
  • halide, -x, CnH2n + 1X

If we look at the question states that the carbonyl group, which is a double-bonded carbon atom with an oxygen atom, binds to carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms. then:

from the above alkane derivatives, 4 compounds have double bonds (between C and O atoms), namely aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and esters

Of the four compounds, C atoms that are double bonded with O and are single bonds with H and C atoms are Aldehydes, with a general structure

RCOH (R = alkyl, CnH2n + 1))

whereas ketones, the double C atoms bond with carbon (alkyl), the general structure is RCR '

carboxylic acid, bound to R and OH, the structure is generally RCOH

and esters, bound to R and R ', RCOR's general structure'

While amino acids are carbon compounds with functional groups -COOH and amino groups -NH2, the general structure:

H2N-CHR-COOH, so that the double atom C bond (with O) is single-bonded with C and OH

So the best answer is Aldehyde
