Question

An organic compound in which a carbonyl group is bonded to two different carbon atoms is a(n) amide. aldehyde. ketone. ester.

Answer 1

Answer: ketone

Explanation:

Functional groups are specific group of atoms within molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules.

1. Amides have functional group
`-O=C-NH_2`.

Example: Ethanamide with molecular formula
`CH_3CONH_2`

2. Aldehydes have functional group
`-O=CH`.

Example: Ethanal with molecular formula
`CH_3CHO`

3. Ketones have functional group
`-C=O`.

Example: Propanone with molecular formula
`CH_3COCH_3`

4. Esters have functional group
`-O=C-OR`.

Example: methyl ethanoate with molecular formula
`CH_3COOCH_3`

Answer 2

An organic compound in which a carbonyl group is bonded to two different carbon atoms is a ketone. The ketones are organic compounds in which a carbonyl group (C=O) is bonded to two carbon atom. A carbonyl group is a carbon-oxygen double bond. Ketones are of great importance in industry and in biology, as solvents, polymer precursors, and pharmaceuticals.
