Functional Groups

Today we had a quiz! Also we learnt about functional groups.

1) Halides

- Group 17 elements

-bromine(bromo), chlorine(chloro), fluorine(floro)

-you use this when you see bromine, chlorine or fluorine as a side chain to your carbon chain

2) Alcohols

- have an OH(hydroxyl) function group

-same rules as usual but change the ending to '-ol'

3) Ethers

-there is an oxygen atom between two carbon chains

-use side chain endings(-yl) for both chains followed by ether

4) Ketones

-double bonded oxygen

-change the ending to '-one'
