Answer 1

C-C : The functional group is alkane

C-OH : The functional group is alcohol

C--C (Double bond) : The functional group is alkene

C---C (Triple Bond): The functional group is alkyne

C-O-C: The functional group is ether

C-NH2 : The functional group is amine

-SH : The functional group is thiol

-COO-H : The functional group is carboxylic acid

-COO-OH : The functional group is peroxy acid

-COO-NH- : The functional group is amide

C-COO-C: The functional group is ester

Explanation: The single bond functional group is called alkane, double bond functional group is called alkene, triple bond functional group is called alkyne. -OH functional group is called alcohol, -R-O-R functional group is called ether, -COOH functional group is called carboxylic acid, -COOR functional group is called ester.
