Concept introduction:
The functional group is the group present on the main carbon chain of an organic compound. It determines the chemical properties and the type of reactions an organic compound can show.
Answer to Problem 9SSC
Oxygen and hydrogen.
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:
Thus, the two elements which are generally present in functional groups are oxygen and hydrogen elements.
Thus, the two elements in functional groups are oxygen and hydrogen.
