what is a functional group
a group of molecules that are responsible for organic molecule functional properties
what is hydroxyl
O-H // polar // the OH is unstable and can have two outcomes:
O takes the electron from H and becomes R-O and H+
the OH splits from the remainder and becomes R+ and OH-
what is carbonyl
C=O // polar // its possible that the O attracts a lone H Aldehyde --> C=O on the end of a molecule Keytones --> C=O in the middle of a molecule
what is carboxylic acid
O-H
|
C acidic (if H+ is given away) and polar
\\
O
what is amino/amine
H-N-H // basic and polar
what is a phosphate group
O || O - P - OH Acidic and polar | O
what is sulfhydrl
S-H // polar // connects with di-sulfide bridge
