Answer 1

You need to know the chemical structure of amoxicillin. You can do a google search for the strucure and from the structure you can determine the functional groups present. The result from my goole search yields:

 

1. phenol (OH attached to benzene ring)

2. amine (primary: -NH₂)

3. ketone (C=O)

4. carboxyclic acid (COOH)

5. amide

6. thioether (C-S-C)
