Carbon's Functional Groups Flashcards
Terms : Hide Images [1]
| 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 |
| 3715464257 | methyl | methylated compounds; very hydrophobic, not at all water soluble |  | 6 |
