What is NH functional group?
In organic chemistry, amines (/əˈmiːn, ˈæmiːn/, UK also /ˈeɪmiːn/) are compounds and functional groups that contain a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair. Inorganic derivatives of ammonia are also called amines, such as monochloramine (NClH2). The substituent -NH2 is called an amino group.
What is the name of this functional group?
Groups containing oxygen
| Chemical class | Group | Formula |
|---|---|---|
| Alcohol | Hydroxyl | ROH |
| Ketone | Carbonyl | RCOR’ |
| Aldehyde | Aldehyde | RCHO |
| Acyl halide | Haloformyl | RCOX |
What is the amide formula?
Amide groups have the general chemical formula CO-NH.
What is a CONH2 group called?
Group is known as Amido Group.
What do amides smell like?
Note: Ethanamide is said to smell of mice. In fact, the smell is due to an impurity in the ethanamide called N-methylethanamide, CH3CONHCH3, where one of the hydrogens in the -NH2 group has been replaced by a methyl group.
What do you mean by functional group?
In organic chemistry, a functional group is a specific group of atoms or bonds within a compound that is responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of that compound. The same functional group will behave in a similar fashion, by undergoing similar reactions, regardless of the compound of which it is a part.
What is an NH group called?
The simple -NH substituent found in 1º-amines is called an amino group.
What is difference between Amine and amide?
Main Difference – Amine vs Amide The main difference between amine and amide is the presence of a carbonyl group in their structure; amines have no carbonyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom whereas amides have a carbonyl group attached to a nitrogen atom.
