Explanation / Answer

I would say all of them if the problem except one or two.This is stating that you do not neccesarily have to have themall in the same structure. Just look at the molecular formulas foreach functional group and see if you have enough carbons,hydrogents, etc to structure them. 1) Alkynes have tripple bonds - C=C 2) Epoxide has a three carbon trianle with oxugen, seemspossible 3) Benzene is a six carbon ring, possible 4) ether is a carbon/oxygen mix so that seems possible 5) carboxxylic acid is not possible, this is a COOHfunctional group and you only ahve 1 oxygen 6) Ketone is possible, C=O 7)Cycloheptane ring has seven carbons, this seemspossible 8)Bromohydrin is Br with an OH group, so that ispossible Hope this helps 7)Cycloheptane ring has seven carbons, this seemspossible 8)Bromohydrin is Br with an OH group, so that ispossible Hope this helps
