Carbonyl
Functional Group
Phosphate group.
No, it is an alcohol, specifically propanol. Alkanes only contain hydrogen and oxygen.
ketone bears negative charge on the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group.
Carbonyl
A secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation to yield a ketone; a primary alcohol forms an aldehyde instead, and a tertiary alcohol usually does not form either a ketone or an alcohol, because the carbon having the OH group in a tertiary alcohol already has three bonds to other carbon atoms and therefore cannot form a double bond to oxygen without more extensive breaking of other bonds in the tertiary alcohol.
Alcohol molecules contain at least one oxygen atom each, while alkanes and alkenes contain no oxygen.
Phosphate group.
Functional Group
Organic chemistry is the study and analysis of Chemistry involving chains composed of carbon. Such types of chains include: Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes, Ketones, Ethers, Alcohols, Esthers, etc.. All of these chains contain the element Carbon but they are characterized differently due to the presence of different functional groups, for example: The functional group of a Ketone is a double bond to an Oxygen.
Methyl alcohol, or methanol, has the formula CH4O, or CH3OH. It contains the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The functional group that makes it an alcohol is the -OH group.
The hydroxyl group is polar due to the oxygen, resulting in high solubility in water.
Any alcohol would contain these 3 elements.
yes as proteins are made of amino acids which contain an amine functional group (Nh2)
No, it is an alcohol, specifically propanol. Alkanes only contain hydrogen and oxygen.
No. A hydroxyl group consists of an oxygen bonded to a hydrogen (-OH). A single hydroxyl group on an alkyl chain characterizes the alcohol family of organic compounds (i.e. ethanol: CH3CH2OH).
