Classify the organic compound according to functional groups?

Answer 1

First a bit of background: Organic compounds are those which contain carbon. Inorganic compounds are those that contain any of the other elements, but do not contain carbon. (Also, there are a few compounds that are often thought of as inorganic even though they do contain carbon, such as magnesium carbonate.) At first glance it would seem like there should be a lot more inorganic compounds, but each carbon atom is tetravalent and can bond to four other atoms, so there are a lot of different ways to hook carbon atoms together and therefore a lot of different organic compounds. Silicon is also tetravalent, but there's a catch: a silicon - silicon bond is quite a bit weaker than a silicon - oxygen bond, so silicon tends to bond to oxygen exclusively and not form long chains of silicon atoms. For everything else, it's even worse: either it's not tetravalent, or it bonds with oxygen much more tightly than it bonds with itself, or both.

Answer 2

The most important way to classify organic compounds is by its functional group. This group determines the structure and functions of the organic compound.

Answer 3

Please provide the name or structure of the organic compound you would like classified according to its functional groups.
