Functional Groups-Chapter Three (Organic Chem. I)

Dr. John Hershberger

Functional Groups is….

collection of atoms at a site that have a characteristic behavior in all molecules where it occurs; group reacts in a typical way, generally independent of the rest of the molecule

are crucial since they determine the types of reactions a molecule will undergo 

Groups with multiple Carbon-Carbon bonds are named….

Alkenes, Alkynes, and Arenes

Alkene is a….

C=C

Halide is…

Carbon attached with F,Cl,Br, or I

Alcohol is….
