detection of functional groups present in organic compounds

There is no direct method for the detection of oxygen in organic compounds. It's presence is detected indirectly. For example, If any organic compound on heating in a dry test tube, gives out water vapor, then the presence of oxygen in ..

This chapter contains oxygen compounds in which oxygen is bonded to a carbon atom through a double bond. The functional unit >C = O, present in these compounds is called carbonyl group. We limit our study now to compounds having a..

The halogen derivatives of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons are called haloalkanes and haloarenes. These are obtained when the hydrogen atom of an alkane and arene is replaced by a halogen atom (F, Cl, Br and I..

Introduction - The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons. All organic compounds can be derived from hydrocarbons by substituting a hydrogen atom with a suitable functional group. Replacing a hydrogen atom by a OH group in a..

When an atom or group of atoms bonded to a carbon atom in the chain or ring of an organic compound, shown some characteristic properties of their own, they are termed as a functional group. Thus, a functional group is an atom or ..

Introduction - Alcohols, phenols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids are compounds with functional groups containing oxygen. An alcohol contains one or more hydroxyl (OH) groups(s) attached to aliphatic carbon atom(s). For e.g., ethyl alcohol for..

The functional group is an atom, or a group of atoms which can replace one or more hydrogen/s in a hydrocarbon. This group when present in organic compounds defines the characteristic physical and chemical properties of tha..
