FUNCTIONAL GROUPS

• Organic chemistry - Study of hydrocarbons (only carbon and hydrogen atoms) and their various derivatives.
• Inorganic chemistry - Study of all substances other than hydrocarbons and their derivatives.
• Bonding Characteristics of Carbon Atom

  • C-atom always makes total of 4 Bonds
  • The sharing of four valance electrons requires the formation of four covalent bonds which are represented by four lines.
• Functional Groups

  • are groups of atoms in organic molecules that are responsible for the characteristics, chemical reactions of those molecules.
  • Simple molecules that contain the same functional group in their structure can be expected to react in similar ways.
  • More complicated chemical molecules may contain more than one functional group within their structure.
• Hydrocarbons

  
• Halogen-Containing Compounds

  
• Oxygen-Containing Compounds

  
• Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
