Substituted Hydrocarbons - Functional Groups Flashcards
Functional Group Concept
- a group of atoms “where chemistry occurs”
- more than one functional group can exist in the same molecule
- each functional group contributes its own set of physical and chemical properties
What is the Functional Group?
The Functional Group is the main defining part of a molecule. For example, one benzene ring will make the molecule aromatic.
What can not be substituted?
Alcohol groups.
What are Alkyl Halides?
Groups with a Carbon in the middle and one “X” branching out and three other hydrogen bonds. (Plus shape). The “X” can be Fluoride, Chlorine, Bromine, or Iodine. For example, CH3F.
What are Thiols?
Groups with a Carbon in the middle and one S branching out and three other hydrogen bonds. (Plus shape).
What are Aldehydes?
Groups with a Carbon in the middle, an oxygen double bond, one hydrogen bond, and something else on the third branch.
What are Ketones?
Groups with a row of three carbons, an oxygen double-bond to the middle carbon, and three hydrogen bonds attached to each of the other carbons.
What is Carboxylic Acid?
A group with a Carbon in the middle, an oxygen double bond, an OH bond, and an additional bond of something else. -COOH.
