HEY'-:-) :-) --''DEAR'---YOUR---''''ANSWER'--:-) :-) -'----:-) :-)




Functional Group: Single atom or group of atoms, that have similar chemical properties are called functional group. For example: Halogen group, Carboxyl group, Aldehyde group, etc.

Alkyl group: −R is known as alkyl group.

Examples: −CH3 (Methyl) −C2H5 (Ethyl), −C3H7 (Propyl)

structural formula methyl ethyl propyl


Halogen group: Halogen group is also known as halo group. −Cl (Chloro),−Br(Bromo),−I(Iodo) are halogen or halo group.

Alcohol: −OH is known as alcohol group.

Aldehyde: −CHO is known as aldehyde group. Its structural formula is as follows:

aldehyde group
Ketone Group: −CO− is known as ketone group. This is also known as carbonic group. Its structural formula is as follows:

ketone group
Carboxylic Acid Group: −COOH is known as carboxylic acid group; or simply as acid group. Its structural formula is as follows:

carboxylic acid group
Nomenclature of Carbon Compounds:

International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) decided some rules to name the carbon compounds. This was done to maintain the uniformity throughout the world. Names which are given on this basis are popularly known as IUPAC name. The rules for nomenclature are as follows::-) :-) :-)
