Functional Groups: Organic Chemistry

groups on a molecule that have high chemical reactivity

hydrocarbon molecule with no functional group

hydrocarbon that has double bonds acting as functional group

hydrocarbon that has triple bonds that act as functional groups

six-membered hydrocarbon rings with 3 double-bonds (typically have strong aromas or smells)

molecule that contains a carbon-halogen bond that acts as their functional group

molecule that contain a hyrdroxy group (-OH) as its functional group

molecule whose functional group is 1 oxygen bonded to 2 carbons

molecule whose functional group is a carbon double-bonded to an oxygen (3 types include: aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid)

type of carbonyl group where the oxygen is double bonded to a carbon and that carbon is bonded to a hydrogen

type of carbonyl group where the oxygen is just double-bonded to the carbon

type of carbonyl group where the oxygen is double bonded to a carbon which is bonded to a hydroxide

alkyl group containing nitrogen instead of carbon (typically only making 3 total bonds)

sulfur replaces the oxygen in the hydroxy group of an alcohol

an alkane (hydrocarbon with no functional groups) with one hydrogen removed (typically represented by R)
