Jamal and Billy are testing paper airplanes to see which design makes a plane fly farther. Jamal's design has straight wings and Billy's has bent wings. They stood side by side and each threw their planes at the same time. They did this six times, measuring how far each plane went from the starting line in meters. They decided that Billy's design with bent wings travels farther. What should they do next to see if their results are valid?
A. Have other friends try the same experiment.
B. Have them throw planes in different locations.
C. Have them throw with their eyes shut each time.
D. Have Billy bend the wings up even more on his plane.

Ketone

Explanation:

According to the description of the functional group attached to the hydrocarbon - the first and last of a chain of three carbons are each single bonded to 3 hydrogen (H)atoms; the center carbon is double bonded to an oxygen atom, O - it can be deduced that the functional group is a ketone group.

A ketone is a functional group with the structure R₂-C=O, where the two R are  alkyl or phenyl groups which may be the same or different. The carbon in a double covalent bond with oxygen is called the carbonyl carbon. The two R groups are bonded to the carbonyl carbon in single covalent bonds.

In the hydrocarbon in this question, the two R groups are methyl groups, CH₃ bonded to the carbonyl carbon. The name of the hydrocarbon is propanone and it is a ketone molecule.
