Question

name the family of organic compound which doesn't have Company Group​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are so many compounds there’s no way to group them into 5 types. There are over 20 functional groups (more actually) alone.

Most molecules contain more than one making it almost impossible.

Then there are the biological molecules like fats, sugars, proteins, nucleic acids and all the enzymes and cofactors, ATP, ADP and so on, all are just large compounds and you have thousands of them.

I’d say from a college undergraduate perspective, the five. Major ones can be grouped as:

Undergo addition (alkenes, alkynes)

Undergo substitution and elimination (alcohols (once activated), ethers, alkyl halides).

Undergo radical reactions (allylic carbons, pi bonds and alkanes) 3a. Aromatics.

Undergo redox Reactions (almost every compound)

Carbonyl compounds and carboxylic acid derivatives.

Limit to five makes it to much to deal with. (Even more confusing!). Where did this number come from, if I may ask?
