5 Chemistry practice questions on Properties of functional groups. Questions that assess core concepts and understanding.
Questions
- 1.
Which functional group is synthesized through the condensation reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol and is commonly responsible for the pleasant, fruity aromas of fruits and perfumes?
- 2.
Which functional group consists of an oxygen atom bonded to two carbon atoms and cannot form intermolecular hydrogen bonds between its own molecules, leading to a much lower boiling point than an isomeric alcohol?
- 3.
Which of the following functional groups contains a carbonyl carbon bonded directly to at least one hydrogen atom and readily undergoes oxidation to form a carboxylic acid?
- 4.
Which of the following functional groups acts predominantly as a Brønsted–Lowry base in dilute aqueous solution?
- 5.
Which of the following functional groups generally imparts the highest normal boiling point to an organic compound compared to other compounds of similar molar mass, primarily due to its ability to form stable intermolecular hydrogen-bonded dimers?
