A functional group is best described as a recurring cluster of atoms within a molecule that imparts specific chemical properties and reactivity. These groups determine how a compound behaves in chemical reactions and often influence the physical properties of the substance, such as solubility and boiling point. Common examples include hydroxyl (-OH), carboxyl (-COOH), and amino (-NH2) groups.
