Give an example of how a functional group can affect the properties of an organic compound?

Answer 1

An atom or group of atoms which gives the specific properties to an organic compound is a functional group

or

The active part of an organic molecule involved in a chemical reaction is known as the functional group.

Examples are, 1-Alcohol R-OH, 2-Carboxylic acid R-COOH, 3-Ether R-O-R, e.t.c

Answer 2

For example, one functional group important to living things, the hydroxyl group, -OH, can make the molecule it is attached to polar. Polar molecules are hydrophilic, or soluble in water. Alocohol is an organic compound with a hydroxyl group attached to one of its carbon atoms. The hydroxyl group makes an alcohol a polar molecule.

Answer 3

A functional group is a group of atoms that determine the characteristic reactions of a particular compound. It affects the properties of an organic compound by altering its structure and functions.

Answer 4

they influence the characteristics of molecules and the chemical reactions the molecules undergo in the cluster of atoms.

Answer 5

Alcohol can have a hydroxyl molecule attached to it and therefore it becomes a polar molecule

Answer 6

functional group affect by hahahahahahahaahahh

Answer 7

Okay, a Hydroxyl Group (OH) can be added to Alcohol to make the molecule polar...That's my two cents :)

Answer 8

Functional groups are groups of atoms that influence the properties of molecules and chemical reactions in which the molecules participate.

Answer 9

Organic compounds have chemical properties according to their functional groups. Also, the type of bonding that organic compounds take place in depends on their functional group.
