The term carbonyl can also refer to carbon monoxide as a ligand in an inorganic or organometallic complex (a metal carbonyl, e.g. nickel carbonyl). A carbonyl group characterizes the following types of compounds.
The functional group in myrcene is an alkene group, which consists of a carbon-carbon double bond.
The functional group in propane is an alkane group, which consists of a carbon-carbon single bond and carbon-hydrogen bonds. The alkane group is a nonpolar and saturated hydrocarbon.
The functional group in methylenedioxypyrovalerone is a ketone group, which is a carbonyl group located within a carbon chain. The ketone group is characterized by a carbon double-bonded to an oxygen atom, with the carbon also bonded to two other carbon atoms.
The functional group present in CH3CCCH3 is a carbon-carbon triple bond, known as an alkyne group. It is characterized by the presence of a C≡C bond between two carbon atoms.
Carbonyl
Propylene belongs to the functional group of alkenes, specifically as a two-carbon alkene.
An ene-one molecule must have both an alkene (ene) and a ketone (one) functional group. The alkene functional group is characterized by a carbon-carbon double bond, while the ketone functional group consists of a carbon double-bonded to an oxygen and attached to two other carbon groups.
The functional group of alkenes is the carbon-carbon double bond. This double bond is responsible for the unsaturation in alkenes, making them more reactive than alkanes. Alkenes are commonly involved in addition reactions due to the presence of this functional group.
The functional group of Teflon is a fluorocarbon polymer, which consists of repeating units of carbon and fluorine atoms.
The alcohol functional group is -OH (hydroxyl group) attached to a carbon atom. It is a common functional group found in alcohols such as ethanol and methanol. Alcohols exhibit unique chemical properties due to the presence of this functional group.
The functional group of dichloromethane is a halogen group, specifically chlorine. It has two chlorine atoms bonded to a single carbon atom.
The functional group of mephedrone is a ketone group, which is characterized by a carbonyl group (C=O) attached to two carbon atoms within the molecule.
