answer
-OH
question
Amine (-anamine)
answer
-NH2
question
aldehyde (-anal)
answer
-CHO (C=O and C-H)
question
ketone (-anone)
answer
R-(C=O)-R (both R's are bonded to the C)
question
Carboxylic Acid (-anoic acid)
answer
-COOH
question
Amide (-anamide)
answer
-CONH2 (C=O is bonded to NH2 by the carbon)
question
Ester (-anoate)
answer
-COOC (C=O is bonded to another O like this O=C-O-R)
question
Nitrile (anenitrile)
answer
-C#N (# signifies triple bond)
question
