Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The term functional group and its importance have to be given.
Concept introduction:
Functional group: They are certain substitutes in the organic molecules which determine the characteristic reactions taking place in it.
Different types of
Alcohol: It is an organic compound where it contains at least one
Carboxylic acid: One
Depending on the number of carbon side chain of the nitrogen, different types of amines can form.
Ether: Ether is a group of organic compound where two aryl or alkyl groups are connected by an oxygen atom. It is represented as

- what are the functional groups in the molecule and where are they?arrow_forwardwhat is the essentiality of carbon ? why is it diverse, how does its diversity affect the global diversity?arrow_forwardFilling the Blanks. Fill in the blanks with the correct word/words to complete the given statement. 1. Carbohydrates are an essential part of our diet. They provide our bodies with energy through. sugar that is a component of starch. 2. Carbohydrates always come in a 1:2:1 carbon to hydrogen to oxygen ratio, respectively. With this we can represent carbohydrate molecules by the stolchlometric formula, (CH20)n; where, n is the number of molecule 3. Monosaccharides (mono- = "one"; sacchar-= "sweet") are 4. Compounds with same molecular formula but differs in molecular structure are called 5. For humans, glucose is important source of energy. Energy used to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) comes from glucose during 6. Disaccharides (di- = "two") are formed from two monosaccharides that had undergone 7. Dehydration reaction forms a bond between two monosaccharides, which is known as a 8. Common disaccharides include lactose, maltose, and sucrose, Lactose, also known as milk sugar, is…arrow_forward

- In terms of organic chemistry how do you know if an atom has ionic bonds or covalent bonds and how do you know if it has just one of these or if it has both? Could you provide some examples of what an ionic bond looks like, covalent bond looks like, and what an atom would look like with both of these?arrow_forwardWhat does a functional group do in an organic molecule?arrow_forwardOrganic chemistry:what is the difference between saturated fats and unsaturated fats?arrow_forward
