An _____ is a hydrocarbon in which one or more hydrogen atoms is replaced by a -COH group.

A. aldehyde
B. alcohol
C. ester
D. amino acid

Respuesta :

Answer is A. Aldehyde (-CHO)
Esters  (=O)
Alcohols (-OH)
Amino acids (-NH2COOH)

Answer :  The correct option is, (A) Aldehyde

Explanation :

Alcohol group : It is the class of organic compound in which the hydroxy (-OH) group is attached to a hydrocarbon is known as alcohols.

The general representation of alcohol are, [tex]R-OH[/tex].

For example : [tex]CH_3-CH_2-OH[/tex] is obtained when one hydrogen atom is replaced by [tex]-OH[/tex] group.

Amino acid : Amino acid are the acid that contains two functional groups which are carboxylic group, [tex]-COOH[/tex] and ammine group, [tex]-NH_2[/tex].

The bond present between the two amino acid is a peptide bond. The peptide bond is formed between the nitrogen of one amino acid and carbon of another amino acid.

Ester group : It is the class of organic compound in which the [tex]-COO[/tex] group is attached to a hydrocarbon is known as ester.

The general formula of ester are, [tex]R-COO-R^'[/tex]. It is directly attached to the two alkyl group of carbon.

Aldehyde group : It is the class of organic compound in which the (-CHO) group is attached to a hydrocarbon is known as aldehyde.

The general representation of aldehyde are, [tex]R-CHO[/tex].

For example : [tex]CH_3-CH_2-CHO[/tex] is obtained when one hydrogen atom is replaced by [tex]-CHO[/tex] group.

Hence, the correct option is, (A) Aldehyde
