What is in a molecule influences the way that molecule reacts?
Functional groups are responsible for chemical reactions of molecules.
Do molecules have just one functional group or can they have more than one?
Molecules are able to have multiple functional groups. For example, an amino acid contains both the amino group -NH2 and carboxyl group -COOH.
What is an alpha carbon?
In organic chemistry, an alpha carbon is the first carbon atom of an aliphatic chain which is attached to a functional group.
The -COOH funtional group?
The -COOH functional group is known as the carboxyl group. It consists of a carbonyl group (C=O) attached to a hydroxyl group (-OH). It is found in carboxylic acids and is responsible for their acidic properties.
What is the NH2 functional group?
It is the amino functional group amine
Functional groups are a group of molecules attached to a carbon-based core of an organic molecule. Key functional groups are .?
Aminos, phosphates, and carbonyls.
What is difference between functional group and molecules?
A functional group works
What is in a molecule influences the way that molecule reacts?
Functional groups are responsible for chemical reactions of molecules.
Give an example of how a functional group can affect the properties of an organic compound?
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
What functional group are found in cholesterol molecules?
alcohol

What functional group consists of a nitrogen atom covalently attached to two hydrogen atoms?
The corresponding functional group is amine, and is shown is by -NH2.
What do all alcohols have in common?
The hydroxyl group (-OH) is the functional group that defines alcohols.

What role does the functional group play in the molecules in which they are found?
They influence the characteristics of the molecule.
What functional group do bases have?
