Groups refer to columns on the Periodic Table. Elements in the same group or column of the period table have the same number of valence electrons (for the most part). Since how a compound will react and how it will bond depends on the number of valence electrons, elements in the same group will have similar properties.

How do functional groups compare in terms of their chemical properties and reactivity?

Functional groups are specific groups of atoms within a molecule that determine its chemical properties and reactivity. Different functional groups have distinct characteristics that influence how they interact with other molecules. For example, some functional groups may be more reactive than others due to the presence of certain atoms or bonds. Overall, the type of functional group present in a molecule can greatly impact its chemical behavior and reactivity.
