Unit 14
A: Understand the structures, reactions, and properties of functional
group compounds.
, Functional groups
A functional group is a group of atoms or bonds inside a substance th
is responsible for the compound's unique chemical reactions.
Regardless of the chemical in which it is found, the same functional
group will behave similarly by undergoing identical reactions, each
functional group has its own distinguishing properties.
• Functional groups can be categorised into three groups:
• Primary
• Secondary
• Tertiary
