- Alkyne
- Alkyl Halide
- Hydroxyl group (alcohol)
- Thiol
- Ketone
- Aldehyde
- Carboxylic Acid
- Ester

Functional Groups Practice Quiz Part 3
Identify every functional group present in the following molecules.
Ibuprofen – anti inflammatory drug
Folic Acid – B Vitamin
Amphetamine – a nervous system stimulant
Penicillin – common antibiotic
AZT or azidothymidine – used to treat HIV
Functional Groups Practice Quiz Part 4 – How many isomers can you draw?
Hint: don't forget to calculate degree of unsaturation/Index of Hydrogen Deficiency
- Ketones with the formula C5H10O
- Esters with the formula C5H8O2
- Saturated 8-carbon tertiary amine
- Non-amines with the formula C4H7N
- BONUS QUESTION: Can you draw at least 30 isomers for C6H12O?

I am just waiting for the results to come in my email but I can’t believe how helpful you are Leah. I am from Australia and I just want to thank you so much, your teaching has helped me soo much and provided soo many resources.
This is honestly soo appreciated!
Kishore says
Non amines with the formula C4H6N…????? How??
It should be C4H7N….then DOU is 2!
Terri Bunch says
Leah, I may have found a solution to 3.2 that is not pictured: cyclopropyl acetate. You may have it and I missed it. Also, for 3.4, your solutions are C4H7N instead of C4H6N.
Nicoleguidry says
how long does it take to get the solutions in your email??
