FUNctional GROUPS! how FUN. (:

what is a FUNctional group??
well....
here;s the definition.
Functional groups: is a specific group of atoms in a molecule and gives the molecule the ability to respond in a specific manner.

hmm?
(:

they are :

• organic compounds that have carbon and hydrogen.
• can be a single or a group
• the most popular ones are:

floro (F), Chloro (Cl), Bromo (Br), Iodo ( I)

and finally nitro (NO2)


Properties of Halogens:

• insoluble in water
• unreactive hydrocarbon such as the Teflon
• anything with Cl or Br are more reactive than others
• anything with I on the other hand is even MORE reactive

Properties of Nitro:

• insoluble in water 
• unreactive to chemical attack
• explosive
• have a nice smell or odor

ALCHOLS

• are organic compounds that contains OH

• they can be name by finding the longest chain and replacing the e.
• soluble in water
• poisonous

Note: alcohol chain has the lowest possible chain   

********NEED TO KNOW*********

ALDEHYDE:

- organic compound THAT HAS C=O group at the end of the hydrocarbon chain
- it follows the standard rules
-changes the parent chain ending to "al"
-soluble in water and reactive

MULTIPLE-OH

- a compound has MORE THAN one -OH group number 
-add a -diol, -triol etc ... in the ending 

Ketones

-organic compound that has C=O group at end of the hydrocarbon chain
- it follows the standard rules  and add "one" at the ending to the parent chain

• soluble in water but unreactive

 

VIDEO TIME!!!!!!!!!!

 

did you guys have fun watching those videos?
oh just say yes.
"yes"<- anonymous person.
