3715464251 | hydroxyl | alcohol; polar because of electrons spending more time near electronegative oxygen | ![]() | 0 |
3715464252 | carbonyl | ketone if oxygen is in middle of carbon chain, aldehyde if oxygen is at the end of carbon chain; imparts charge, soluble in water | ![]() | 1 |
3715464253 | carboxyl | carboxylic acid; can become ionized and have a full negative charge which hydrogens in water love, very soluble in water | ![]() | 2 |
3715464254 | amino | amine; bring a full positive charge, which attracts the oxygen atoms in water, very soluble in water | ![]() | 3 |
3715464255 | sulfhydryl | thiol; imparts partial charge, making it somewhat soluble in water, creates bonds that help keep proteins together | ![]() | 4 |
3715464256 | phosphate | organic phosphates; has a full negative charge (sometimes two) VERY water soluble | ![]() | 5 |

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using!
