Hey mate!

Thank you for asking this question! ❤

Answer:

___________________________________________________

  • In a hydrocarbon chain, one or more Hydrogen atoms can be replaced by elements such that the valency of Carbon remains satisfied. In search compounds, the element replacing Hydrogen is referred to as a Heteroatom...

e.g. CH3CH2COOH, Propanoic acid, with a functional group —COOH, etc.

  • A Functional Group is defined as the heteroatom, or the group containing them, which confer specific properties to the Carbon compound where they are present, regardless of the length and the nature of the Carbon chain. It is also the site of chemical reactivity in the organic molecule...
