Question

Help pls thnk you!!!!

Answer 1

The amine here is the easiest to spot since there’s only one structure that has a nitrogen atom, which would be the first (the first structure is a primary amine).

The distinguishing functional group of an alcohol is the hydroxy group (—OH). Both the second and third structures have an —OH group, but the —OH in the third structure is part of a carboxyl group (—COOH or —C(=O)OH). A carboxyl group takes priority over hydroxy group. Thus, the second structure would be an alcohol and the third structure would be a carboxylic acid.

That leaves us with the fourth structure, a hydrocarbon with a halogen substitutent, or, aptly named, a halocarbon.
