Review of Functional Groups

The document provides an overview of functional groups in organic chemistry. It discusses the differences between organic and inorganic compounds, the bonding characteristics of carbon atoms, and defines what functional groups are and how they determine a molecule's properties. The document also lists several common functional groups that will be covered, including hydrocarbons, halogen-containing compounds, oxygen-containing compounds, carboxylic acid derivatives, and nitrogen-containing compounds.

BIOCHEMISTRY
Unit Expected Outcomes
At the end of this unit, the students are expected to:
1. Classify accordingly the structure of different organic
compounds.
2. Categorize appropriately the IUPAC names of different
organic compounds.
Organic vs Inorganic Compounds
❑Organic Chemistry: Study of hydrocarbons (only
carbon and hydrogen atoms) and their various
derivatives.

❑Inorganic Chemistry: Study of all substances other


than hydrocarbons and their derivatives.
Bonding Characteristics of Carbon Atom

•C-atom always makes total of 4 Bonds

•The sharing of four valance electrons requires the


formation of four covalent bonds which are
represented by four lines.
Functional Groups
❑are groups of atoms in organic molecules that are
responsible for the characteristics, chemical reactions of
those molecules.
❑Simple molecules that contain the same functional group
in their structure can be expected to react in similar ways.
❑More complicated chemical molecules may contain more
than one functional group within their structure.
Hydrocarbons
Halogen-Containing Compounds
Oxygen-Containing Compounds
Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Nitrogen-Containing Compounds
