Functional Group
The functional group is defined as an atom or group of atoms joined in a specific manner, which gives the chemical properties of the organic compound and are the centers for chemical reactivity.
Compounds having a similar functional group have undergone similar reactions. The presence of functional groups enables the systematization of organic compounds into different classes.
Different classes of organic compounds based on functional groups present in it are,
1. Alkane
The functional group presence in the alkane is -C-C-. The IUPAC group suffix of an alkane is –ane.
Example: Methane CH4
2. Alkene
The functional group presence in the alkene is -C=C- (double bond). The IUPAC group suffix of an alkene is –ene.
Example: butane
