Taxol is a potent chemotherapeutic agent (isolated from the Pacific Yew tree) which is especially effective against ovarian cancer. Which functional groups is not contained in taxol?

Amine

Explanation:

The functional groups contained in Taxol are :

Ketone , Ester, Amide and Alcohol

while the functional group that is not contained in the Taxol is Amine

Taxol is a very potent anti-cancer chemotherapeutic, and it is also groped into a class called Taxanes and this makes it effective in the treatment of breast and ovarian cancer.

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
