Verified step by step guidance1
Examine the chemical structure provided in the image. Identify the different types of bonds and atoms present.
Look for the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O). This group is characteristic of certain functional groups such as ketones and amides.
Identify the nitrogen atom bonded to the carbonyl group. This combination of a carbonyl group and a nitrogen atom indicates the presence of an amide functional group.
Observe the double bond between two carbon atoms (C=C) in the structure. This is indicative of an alkene functional group.
Conclude that the compound contains both an amide and an alkene functional group based on the presence of the C=O-N linkage and the C=C bond.
