Question

name the family to which each organic compound belongs. the first answer has been filled in for you. compound family o || c - ch₂ - ch₃ ester ch₃ - o ch₃ || ch₃ - c - nh₂ 0 ch₃ - o - ch₃ 0 ch₃ ch₂ || || o = c - c - ch₃ 0

Explanation:

1. For $CH_3 - C(=O)-NH_2$, the presence of the amide - carbonyl ($-C(=O)-NH_2$) group makes it an amide.
2. For $CH_3 - O - CH_3$, the general formula of ethers is $R - O - R'$, where $R$ and $R'$ are alkyl groups. Here $R = R'=CH_3$, so it is an ether.
3. For $CH_3 - C(=O)-C(=O)-CH_3$, it has two carbon - oxygen double bonds separated by a carbon - carbon bond. This is a diketone as it contains two carbonyl ($C = O$) groups within the carbon - chain.

Answer:

1. Amide
2. Ether
3. Diketone
