Oxygen+Functional+Groups

There are many functional groups that involve oxygen atoms. The ones we will study are:
 * [|alcohols] (hydroxyl group), such as ethanol and glycerol
 * [|ethers], such as diethyl ether and dioxins
 * [|phenols], such as tyrosine
 * [|ketones], such as acetone
 * [|aldehydes], such as formaldehyde and cinnamaldehyde
 * [|carboxylic acids]
 * [|esters]
 * [|lactones]
 * [|acid anhydrides]
 * [|epoxides]
 * [|peroxides]
