    Write the Functional group
    Well I need to write the Functional group that existing in the chemical composition of amino acid Threonine. So I think the Functional group of the amino acid Threonine (you can see in the picture) is:
    1)COOH
    2)NH2
    3)R (Pendant group) I am not sure here.

    B)i asked to Specify the location of the Functional group on the Structure formula of Threonine. So I mark in red what I know but I still need help

    The amine, alcohol and acid groups are functional groups. The carbon atoms are not functional groups. The chemical name of threonine is 2-amino-3-hydroxybutanoic acid.

    You're a and b parts are correct, but your part c should be: OH of the R group.

    I would rather encircle the groups asked for. So you encircle NH2, COOH and OH.

    Hi. Well I just encircle NH2 (where the red line) but what about COOH and OH?
    OH is in the right side I see so is not wii be problem but COOH how I need to murk it ?
    Thank you :)

    I sure like your structures better than pop000's!

    Um... it's the same, I just enlarged it :o

    You can see the blue thing at the top left I forgot to remove which was in the attachment of pop000 :p

    If it were to me me, I'd to the full structural (meaning showing all the bonds, just in case)
