Explanation of Solution

The functional group is a specific group of bonds and atoms in an organic compound which determines the chemical properties and physical properties of the compound. Two compounds with same functional groups will behave in a similar way and show similar reactions.

The name of the group depends on the atoms present in the group for example an −OH group contains O and H atom thus, it is a hydroxyl group. The different functional groups are named according to IUPAC rule.

Name of some functional groups are: -OH: alcohol, -CHO: aldehyde, -COOH: carboxylic acid etc.
