Carbon atoms and molecules

what are isromers

they are molecules that have the same M.F but differ in the structures and functions

what are the 3 types of isomers and what are their definitions

The three types of isomers are structural isomers, which differ in the covelant arrangement of the molecules; geometric isomers, which differ in the arrangement of atoms in space; and enantiomers, which are mirror images of each other.

Properties of hydroxyls

they are polar, have a structural fromula of R-OH and are found in alcohols

structural formula of aldehydes and ketones

molecules with a carbonyl group at the end of the carbon chain. Ketones: they are polar molecules with a carbonyl group located within the carbon chain.

what is the structural formula of carboxyl and what are their properties

The structural formula of carboxyl groups is R-COOH. They are weakly acidic, and can release hydrogen atoms.

what is the structural formula of amino and what are their properties

The structural formula of amino groups is R-NH2. They are basic, can accept protons, and are found in amino acids.

what is the structural formula of phosphate and what are their properties

The structural formula of phosphate groups is R-PO4. They are weakly acidic and release H atoms

what is the structural formula of sulfhydryl and what is their function

R-SH, they help stabalize the internal structure of protiens

how are monomers linked and broken down?

they are linked through the codensation reaction and can be broken down by hydrolysis
