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.
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.
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.
The most weighted of all is the carboxylic acid functional group, so no matter what else is on a six carbon chain, if there's a carboxylic acid, then it's a hexanoic acid.
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.
