OBJECTIVES
After completing this section, you should be able to
explain why the properties of a given organic compound are largely dependent on the functional group or groups present in the compound.
identify the functional groups present in each of the following compound types: alkenes, alkynes, arenes, (alkyl and aryl) halides, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, esters, carboxylic acids, (carboxylic) acid chlorides, amides, amines, nitriles, nitro compounds, sulfides and sulfoxides.
identify the functional groups present in an organic compound, given its structure.
Given the structure of an organic compound containing a single functional group, identify which of the compound types listed under Objective 2, above, it belongs to.
