Group 1 the Alkali Metals and Group 2 the Alkaline Metals. Group 1 is more reactive than Group 2.
The three major reactive groups of elements are the alkali metals, Alkaline Earth and halogens (these groups are labeled 1 or IA, 2 or IIA, and 17 or VIIIB respectively)

What group of organic compounds contain fatty acids?
Fatty acids contain carboxyl groups. The functional group of fatty acids is -COOH. There are 2 types of fatty acids called saturated and non saturated.
In the triglyceride molecule what are three molecules attached to the glycerol molecule?
Fatty acids (apex)
Do fatty acid and glycerol both contain a carboxyl group?
No, only fatty acids contain carboxyl groups.
How are amino acids different from fatty acids?
Short Answer is: fatty acids lack Nitrogen atoms. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are made up of the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. They have the functional groups carboxyl (COOH) and amine (H2N). Fatty acids or LIPIDS - [fats from animals, oils from plants] - are the building blocks of triglycerides. They are made of of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and DO NOT contain nitrogen. They have the functional groups carbonyl (HCO) and carboxyl (COOH).
Do glycerol and fatty acids have an amino group?
no amino acid is not a fatty acid this is because of the following reasons 1- due to the difference of functional group i.e Amino acid has two functional groups one is amino group (-NH2) and other is carboxylic group (-COOH) while in fatty acid (-RCOOH) only carboxylic group are present. 2-Amino acid is the sub-unit of protein while Fatty acid is the sub-unit of lipids(FATS).

No, only fatty acids contain carboxyl groups.
Is fatty acids a lipid?
Most lipids are composed of some sort of fatty acid arrangement. The fatty acids are Fatty acids are composed of a chain of methylene groups with a Carboxyl functional group at one end.
What are the names of the 2 chemical groups in a triglyceride?
glycerol and fatty acids
What process is used to combine the fatty acids and glycerol?
what is the process called that adds tree glycerol to 3 fatty acids? Glycerol is a sugar alcohol containing three hydrophillic hydroxyl groups. When these three OH groups are esterified with three fatty acids, the product is a triglyceride.
What is a name of the molecule glycerol fatty acids?
If 1 of the glycerol's OH groups is attached to a fatty acid it is a monoglyceride. If it is 2 or 3 then it is a di or triglyceride respectively. If there are 3 fatty acids and one gycleride, then the substance is namely a lipid.
What is the most common building blocks of lipids?
Fatty acids and glycerol
Distinguish between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids?
There is no difference between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids. If you meant saturated fatty acids and UNsaturated fatty acids, then the unsaturated ones are the ones with double (or, theoretically, triple) bonds in the carbon chain.

What are essential fatty acid's?
Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are fats that are required by the human body. We need to get through our diet or through supplements. The two significant groups of EFAs are Omega-3 and Omega-6. (There are Omega-9 fatty acids, but they are not essential.) Omega-3 fatty acids include alpha-linolenic acid, EPA, and DHA. Omega-6 fatty acids include linoleic acid.
