Question: Which chemical group is most likely to be responsible for an organic molecule behaving as a base (see Concept 3.3)?

  • A. hydroxyl
  • B. carbonyl
  • C. amino
  • D. phosphate

♦ Relevant knowledge

  • The hydroxyl ion is an extremely strong base and works by capturing protons. If we squeeze it, it can turn into water. And this is an incomplete water molecule that carries a negative charge and needs a proton to complete. On the other hand, because of the hydroxyl group it does not need to capture protons to complete it acts as an extremely weak base. It is capable of donating protons although it only does so for very strong bases.
  • The carbonyl functional group is polar because oxygen is more electronegative than carbon, and thus acts as an electron withdrawing group. The carbonyl group is present in aldehydes and ketones. In ketones, the carbon of the carbonyl group is attached to two hydrocarbon radicals. However, in aldehydes, the carbon of this group will be attached to hydrogen at one end and the other end to a hydrocarbon radical or another hydrogen atom.
  • Amino acids, also written as amino acids, are biologically important organic compounds containing amino (-NH2) and carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional groups, along with a specific side chain in each amino acid.
  • Phosphate is an inorganic compound and a salt of phosphoric acid. In organic chemistry, a phosphate or organophosphorus compound is an ester of phosphoric acid
