Carboxylic Acids, Ethers, Amines and Amides

Okay so I will give you a brief introduction to each of the topics and then show some example, first off...
Carboxylic Acids [kahr-bok-sil-ic] (now you can pronounce it)
(the R represents a carbon chain)
So for carboxylic acids you use the normal naming system and just add '-oic acid' on to the end
An example of how you would write the name is methanoic acid (the simplest carboxylic acid)

Ethers

Yes, ethers are two carbon chains connected to a Oxygen, a little note- name the smaller side chain first
Once you have named it just add ether onto the end.
Also here is a video if you are still confused, however just watch these parts: 1:02-1:50 then, 5:58-7:13, or you could just watch all of it and risk being even more confused than you were before, your choice.

Amines
Okay, also note that the two hydrogen's can also be carbon chains.
Amines are carbon chains connected to a nitrogen, the ending is -amine (easy to remember)

Amides
These are two possibilities that are both considered Amides. As for the naming just add -amide onto the end.

Time for examples
Name these compounds

Answers: butamine   2,4 diethyl pentamine  diethyl ester    butyl phenly ester   4 propyl pentanoic acid    butanoic acid 4 phenyl
