Functional Groups

Functional Groups:

Carbon can also form bonds with other elements, such as halogens, oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur etc. These are called hetero atoms. These atoms or group of atoms, replace one or more hydrogen atoms of the hydrocarbon and are responsible the chemical reactivity of the compound, regard of the length and nature of carbon chain. Hence these are called functional groups. Thus, functional groups may be defined as an ‘atom’ or a ‘group of atoms’ which makes a carbon compound
