This would be a five-star quiz for me, until I got to the last two rows- the pictures are off-center, and you can't tell what most of them are. Plus, the last one is clearly an anhydride, and that answer isn't accepted.

Much better now that it's been fixed.

I should get half a letter grade for remembering these three months later.

Can you please accept "mercaptan" for "thiol"?

@dlutz77539 It does accept mercaptan for thiol, and a few other alternates as well.

It helps to learn if you give the correct answers. Please don't shut down those who want to be reminded of the correct terminology.

@slamb I HAVE no idea how that happened. I just went to look at the quiz, and someone had turned on the "Wrong answers end quiz button" which makes all the right answers not appear. Sorry about that, but it has been fixed now.

sprout...this has been around since February and you never noticed the double "the" in the question?

I knew 9, and was shocked that I remembered them. I'm even more shocked that more than 15% guessed all of them.

@Khazar49: It's probably not people remembering on the first go. It's probably more like people thinking "man, I can't believe how much chemistry I've forgotten" the first time they take the quiz, then repeating it until they get them all.

The most correctly guessed answer is alcohol - think that says something about our society :p

I was surprised that 'carboxy' was accepted; the picture is a carboxylic acid. You have to lose the hydrogen to get carboxy. Also, 'cycloalkane' may be too broad; the structure IS cyclopentane.

@smartster Carboxy is another synonym of carboxylic acid, and has to be accepted. You're confusing it with carboxylate which is its negative ionic form. The question has always accepted cyclopentane as an answer, but that's just the molecule's name. Many organic chemists consider cyclic compounds or cycloalkanes to be a functional group, and cyclopentane falls in that category.

Damn! Only 15/21 >.< I can't believe I couldn't remember alkane, especially considering that I remembered alkene and alkyne. And I didn't know that ketone was written with a k in english (I speak espanish, so that's another difficulty for me in this quizzes). But hey, good quiz! It got me thinking a lot :D

my orgo textbook lists "acid chloride" and "acid anhydride" as "carboxylic acid chloride" and "carboxylic acid anhydride", i think these should be accepted as answers.

i only got 15 and i only did organic chemistry a year ago. i honestly dont remember learning the thio and thioether but i should have remembered the amide, anhydride and epoxide

I got thioether from trying to type thiol ether (educated guess) but instead of l I typed ;. Lucky me =)

On 10 I tried 'imine' several times, since none of the radicle groups are -H, but it didn't take...

@mdonken An imine is a functional group with a C double bonded to an N. None of those appear here.
