Explanation of Solution
The properties of compounds depend on the functional group present in them therefore; compounds with same functional groups have similar chemical properties. The name of the compound also depends on the functional groups it contains. Also, different functional groups have different smells. For examples, the compounds containing ester functional groups are generally sweet in smell; compounds with
Thus, smells are classified according to functional groups present in the compounds. The purpose of this classification is determining the functional groups in a compound.
