What is an epoxide?
An oxygen atom bonded to 2 carbons which are also bonded together. This produces a very strained ring with bond angles of 60°
What is a peroxide? Why are they so reactive?
A -O-O- functional group, the O-O bond is very weak

A carbon with 2 -OR groups, a carbon with an -OR and a -OH group
What is an imine and an oxime? Why are they uncommon?
A -C=N-R group and a -C=N-OH group. Because they are very reactive
What is an anhydride group?
R-C(=O)-O-C(=O)-R
What is a carbonate group?
R-O-C(=O)-O-R
What is a carbamate group?
R-O-C(=O)-NH-R
What is an urea group?
R-NH-C(=O)-NH-R
What is an isocyanate group?
R-N=C=O
What is the -CN group called?
Nitrile
