• functional groups hold onto their properties regardless of the molecule in which they are found
• alcohol is an organic compound commonly used as reagents, solvents, and fuels.
• ethanol - with the chemical formula C2H5OH, is the most commonly used alcohol
• ether structure contains 2 alkyl groups joined in one oxygen
• aldehydes functional group consistts of carbonyl bonded to a hydrogen atom and an R group
• ketones is a functional group characterized by a carbonyl group linked to two other carbon atoms
• acetone or propanone is the simplest example of a ketone
• functional groups hold onto their properties regardless of the molecule in the which they are found
• alcohol is an organic compound commonly used as reagents, solvents, and fuel. It is colorless and transparent
• ethanol, with the chemical formula C2H5OH, is the most commonly used alcohol
• methanol (CH3OH), the simplest alcohol, is obtained from the distillation of wood and, therefore called as "wood alcohol"
• ether structure containes 2 alkyl groups joined in one oxygen.
• aldehydes functional group consists of a carbonyl bonded to a hydrogen atom and an R group
• the term aldehyde comes from the word "alcohol dehydrogenated"
• the simplest aldehyde is the formaldehyde or methanal
• ketone is a functional group characterized by a carbonyl group (O=C) linked to two other carbon atoms
• acetone or propane is the simplest example of a kentone
• the word ketone derives its name from aketon, an old German word for acetone
• carboxylic acids are characterized by the presence of carboxyl group
• oxalic acid (COOH)2 - this acid is used as cleansing agent
• esters is a product formed from the reaction between a carboxylic acid and alcohol
• the name ester is derived from the german essig-aether, which is an old name for acetic acid ethyl ester
• esters are characterized by having a very sweet fruity smell, where most are found in fruits
• amines are organic compounds containing a functional group of basic nitrogen atom
• amides contain a functional group consisting of a carbonyl group linked to a nitrogen atom
