Question

name the family to which each organic compound belongs. the first answer has been filled in for you. compound family h o = c - oh carboxylic acid o = ch₂ o ch₃ - c - nh₂ o ch₃ ho - ch₂ - ch₂ - ch - ch₂

Explanation:

1. For $O = CH_2$, the carbon - oxygen double bond with no other functional groups attached makes it an aldehyde as aldehydes have the general formula $R - CHO$ and here $R = H$.
2. For $CH_3 - C(=O)-NH_2$, the presence of the amide group $-CONH_2$ classifies it as an amide.
3. For $HO - CH_2 - CH_2 - CH(CH_3)-CH_2$, the presence of the hydroxyl group $-OH$ makes it an alcohol.

Answer:

1. aldehyde
2. amide
3. alcohol
