Answer true or false.

(a) A functional group is a group of atoms in an organic molecule that undergoes a predictable set of chemical reactions.

(b) The functional group of an alcohol, an aldehyde, and a ketone have in common the fact that each contains a single oxygen atom.

(c) A primary alcohol has one -OH group, a secondary alcohol has two -OH groups, and a tertiary alcohol has three -OH groups.

(d) There are two alcohols with the molecular formula C3H8O.

(e) There are three amines with the molecular formula C3H9N.

(f) Aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters all contain a carbonyl group.

(g) A compound with the molecular formula of C3H6O may be either an aldehyde, a ketone, or a carboxylic acid.

(h) Bond angles about the carbonyl carbon of an aldehyde, a ketone, a carboxylic acid, and an ester are all approximately 109.5°.

(i) The molecular formula of the smallest aldehyde is C3H6O, and that of the smallest ketone is also C3H6O.

(j) The molecular formula of the smallest carboxylic acid is C2H4O2.
