Chemistry Chapter 13 : Topic 6
Functional Groups
1 / 20
A student observes that a group of organic compounds shows similar chemical behavior even though their molecular masses gradually increase. This similarity is due to the presence of a specific part of the molecule responsible for chemical properties. What is this part called?
Reasoning: A functional group is an atom or group of atoms that determines the chemical properties of a homologous series.
2 / 20
Which of the following correctly defines a functional group?
Reasoning: Functional groups control chemical reactivity, not just physical properties.
3 / 20
Which functional group is present in alcohols?
Reasoning: Alcohols contain the hydroxyl group (- OH), which defines their chemical behavior.
4 / 20
A compound has the formula CH₃CHO. Its functional group is:
Reasoning: CH₃CHO contains the aldehyde group (- CHO).
5 / 20
Which functional group is characteristic of ketones?
Reasoning: Ketones contain a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two carbon atoms.
6 / 20
Which compound contains a carboxylic acid functional group?
Reasoning: - COOH group defines carboxylic acids.
7 / 20
Phenol is different from alcohol because:
Reasoning: In phenol, - OH is directly attached to an aromatic benzene ring.
8 / 20
Which functional group is present in amines?
Reasoning: Amines contain the amino group (- NH₂).
9 / 20
Esters are characterized by which functional group?
Reasoning: Esters contain - COO- linkage formed between acid and alcohol.
10 / 20
Amides contain which functional group?
Reasoning: Amides have the - CONH₂ group.
11 / 20
Which statement best describes a homologous series?
Reasoning: Homologous series share functional groups and show similar chemical behavior.
12 / 20
As we move in a homologous series, which property changes regularly?
Reasoning: Molecular mass increases gradually due to - CH₂- addition.
13 / 20
Which pair belongs to the same homologous series?
Reasoning: Both are alcohols containing - OH group.
14 / 20
A compound burns with a clean flame and dissolves well in water due to hydrogen bonding. Its functional group is most likely:
Reasoning: Carboxylic acids form hydrogen bonds and are water soluble.
15 / 20
Which functional group is responsible for the sour taste of vinegar?
Reasoning: Acetic acid contains - COOH group causing sour taste.
16 / 20
Which of the following correctly matches compound with functional group?
Reasoning: Ethanal is an aldehyde containing - CHO group.
17 / 20
Why do members of a homologous series show similar chemical properties?
Reasoning: Functional group controls chemical behavior.
18 / 20
Which functional group contains a carbonyl group but is NOT an aldehyde?
Reasoning: Ketones contain carbonyl group between carbon atoms.
19 / 20
Which statement about functional groups is correct?
Reasoning: Functional groups control chemical reactivity.
20 / 20
Which of the following represents an ester?
Reasoning: - COO- linkage identifies esters.
