FUNCTIONAL GROUPS-UCI BIOLOGY 93 Questions with all the correct answers (Latest updated questions and answers)
Functional Groups specific groups of atoms within molecules, responsible for characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules Hydroxyl ->-OH (HO-) ->Alcohols (names usually end in -ol) ->Polar bc of the electronegative oxygen atom (oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen) -> Above means that the electrons spend near more time near the oxygen atom -> Can form hydrogen bonds w/ h2o molecules which helps dissolve organic compounds such as sugars Carbonyl ->C=O ->ketones if the carbonyl group is WITHIN a carbon skeleton ->aldehydes if the carbonyl group is at the END of a carbon skeleton ->these two are also found in sugars as aldoses and ketoses Carboxyl ->C=OOH (COOH) ->carboxylic acids, or organic acids ->has acidic
