Hi everyone here we have a question telling us that the formula for Butera made C four H nine N. O. Can have multiple structures in which the oxygen is part of a carbon NEal group. And our goal here is to draw the structure of a compound that is formed from the reaction between a car box, silicon and a mean and identify the functional group present. So a carbon nil is a carbon double bonded to an oxygen. So we're going to have a carbon nail double bonded to an oxygen in all of these. And we are going to draw the structure. So we're going to have three hydrogen, A carbon single bonded to a carbon with two hydrogen Single bonded to another carbon with two hydrogen single bonded to a carbon. And here we're gonna add our carbon NEAL so double bonded to an oxygen with our Nitrogen and two oxygen's at the end. Next we can have three hydrogen Bonded to a carbon single bonded to a carbon with two hydrogen Single bonded to a carbon with two hydrogen, our carbon neal group and then a nitrogen with a hydrogen And carbon with three hydrogen. And lastly we could have three hydrogen is bonded to carbon bonded to carbon and our carbon neal group then single bonded to nitrogen Bonded to carbon with three hydrogen Single bonded to carbon with three hydrogen. Now, what is the functional group present in all three of these structures? So all of these structures we have a nitrogen that is linked to our carbon neal group. So in this structure it's here and this one is here and this one is here. So what these are are um IDs and amidst are a carbon ill car are a carbon ill carbon, so a carbon double bonded to an oxygen linked by a single bond to a nitrogen and either a hydrogen or carbon. So we have an amid in all three of our groups. So these are the structures of our compound. We have three of them possible and the functional group present are amid. Thank you for watching. Bye!
