Organic Chemistry/Overview of Functional Groups - Wikibooks
2024年9月5日 · Functional groups are specific atoms, ions, or groups of atoms having consistent properties. A functional group makes up part of a larger molecule. For example, -OH, the hydroxyl group that characterizes alcohols, is an oxygen with a hydrogen attached. It could be found on any number of different molecules.
2.1 Functional Groups – Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry …
2.1 Functional Groups. The structural features that make it possible to classify compounds into families are called functional groups. A functional group is a group of atoms within a molecule that has a characteristic chemical behavior. Chemically, a given functional group behaves in nearly the same way in every molecule it’s a part of.

2021年12月16日 · Functional groups are the most reactive parts in organic compounds, and determine the major properties of compounds. The summary of common functional groups is included in Table 2.2. Knowing the functional groups well is …
4.12: Organic Functional Groups - Chemistry LibreTexts
Functional groups are specific collections of atoms bonded together in a certain way. These collections of atoms are seen over and over in organic chemistry, and so they are given specific names. This appendix is meant to help you learn to recognize these functional groups.

79 Functional Groups Names, Properties, and Reactions
In organic chemistry, the most common functional groups are carbonyls (C=O C=O), alcohols (-OH -OH), carboxylic acids (CO2H CO 2 H), esters (CO2R CO 2 R), and amines (NH2 NH 2). It is important to be able to recognize the functional groups and the physical and chemical properties that they afford compounds.
1.6. Functional Groups | Organic Chemistry 1: An open textbook
Functional groups are structural units within organic compounds that are defined by specific bonding arrangements between specific atoms. For example the structure of capsaicin, found in chili peppers, incorporates several functional groups, labeled in the figure below and explained throughout this section.

2023年1月23日 · In organic chemistry, functional groups are specific groups of atoms within molecules arranged in a specific manner. The following tables list common functional groups arranged by heteroatom. The symbols R, R', R'' and R''' usually denote a hydrocarbon chain or a hydrogen but can sometimes be any group of atoms.
2.22: Carbon - Organic Molecules and Functional Groups
Functional groups are collections of atoms that attach the carbon skeleton of an organic molecule and confer specific properties. Each type of organic molecule has its own specific type of functional group. Functional groups in biological molecules play an important role in the formation of molecules like DNA, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.
