What Do These Molecules Have in Common?

Functional groups are an important organizing factor in organic chemistry.

Functional Groups

Organic molecules have two main parts.

Carbon backbone: The carbon and hydrogen skeleton of a molecule

Functional groups: groups of atoms/bonds that determine the physical and biological properties and reactivity of a molecule

Memorization Alert: You will need to memorize functional groups!
