The side groups added into the carbon chain participate in reactions. So they are called functional groups.the chemical and physical properties of organic compounds change with the functional groups.

What is markownkoves rule?
Markovnikov's rule states that functional groups tend to be added to the more substited carbon. For alcohol groups, Oxymercuration-demercuration of a double bond in and alkene results in the Markovnikov product with the hydroxyl group on the more substituted carbon. Hydroboration-Oxidation of a double bond in an alkene results in the Anti-Markovnikov product with the hydroxyl group on the less substituted carbon.

What is plain carbon steel used for?
The various uses of carbon steel depend on the amount of carbon added to the alloy; for instance, carbon steel with the lowest amount of carbon is called wrought iron and is used for things like fencing. Medium-carbon steel, also called mild steel, is the type of steel that is used for structural purposes in buildings and bridges. High-carbon steel is used for springs and steel wires, while ultra-high carbon steel is called cast iron and is often used to make pots.
What is added to steel to strengthen it?
