Answer:

Functional groups are important in chemistry because they are the portion of a molecule that is capable of characteristic reactions. They, therefore, determine the properties and chemistry of many organic compounds. An organic compound is any compound that contains carbon and another element. A functional group is an atom or group of atoms that is responsible for a particular chemical property of an organic compound. Organic compounds can be classified according to their functional groups.

A functional group gives an organic compound a property that is different than it would otherwise have. For instance, take a look at the following four-carbon compounds. They all have four carbons, but they are all different because of the functional groups they have.

Name Formula Melting point Boiling point

Butane C4 H10 -138.4 -0.5

1-butanol C4 OH10 -89.5 117.2

Butanoic acid C4 O2 H8 -4.5 163.5

So, when you look at these compounds, you can see that just by adding an -OH group to butane, you greatly increase its boiling point. Adding a COOH group to form butanoic acid raises it even more.

There are seven functional groups for organic molecules that we are going to talk about. They are alcohols, alkyl halides, ketones, aldehydes, ethers, carboxylic acids and esters. When scientists talk about functional groups, they use a short hand way of writing them called 'the general formula.' They write an R, which stands for the rest of the compound, and then a dash and the functional group. So, it looks like this: R-OH or R-O-R.
