Examine the general structure of a molecule.

Which functional groups are in this molecule?

1) an alkyl halide and an alcohol

2) a carboxylic acid and an amine

3) an amine and an ester

4) an aldehyde and a carboxylic acid

functional groups are specific substituents or atoms within molecules that brings about chemical reactions of those molecules. There is the same or similar chemical reaction in compounds with the same functional groups.

1.) The functional group in Alkyl halides is halogen atom whille

The functional group in Alcohols have

is OH group. There is a double bond in HX or an HOH molecules.

2.) The functional group of carboxylic acid is an organic compound is carboxyl functional group. While The functional group in amine contains a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair of electrons.

3.) The functional group in ester is a carboxylic acid derivative that is analogous to the Amides

4.) A carboxylic acid has carboxyl functional group. However the hydrogen of the hydroxyl group is can be ionized. In an ester, there is a replacement of hydrogen of acarboxylic acid group by an alkyl group
