It is a labor to task the faculties of a man — such problems of profit and loss, of interest, of tare and tret,(8) and gauging of all kinds in it, as demand a universal knowledge.
Now we only have two more oxygen-based functional groups that we're gonna talk about, These are groups that have internal oxygens bonded directly to carbons.
The chemical parameters that we used for instance it was the molecular weight of compound, or the fact that the compound possesses or not some functional groups.
There is in our changeability an almost comedic interplay between what we might crudely refer to as our bodies and our minds; our higher faculties and our basic plumbing.
They do this by giving prefixes to compounds for the number of carbons in a chain, suffixes based on parent functional groups, and ranking functional groups somewhat arbitrarily for precedence.
If an OH is part of a larger functional group, we'll refer to it as a Hydroxyl, and if a carbon double bonded to an oxygen it's part of a larger group, we call that a carbonyl.
