identification of functional groups in organic compounds

All organic compounds are made up of a progressively building chain of carbon atoms with a number of compounds having the same functional groups..

Organic compounds are isolated either from natural sources or from reaction mixtures. These compounds are seldom pure and are usually contaminated with small amounts of other similar compounds, which are found to exist together or formed during the reac..

Unsaturated groups or groups with multiple bonds that impart color to the organic compound are called chromophores. Examples are the nitro, the nitroso and the azo groups..

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 hydrocar..

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..

Question: What are functional groups? write the functional groups of: 1) acids 2) aldehydes. Answer: The functional group is an atom, or a group of atoms which can replace one or more hydrogen in a hydrocarbon. This ..

Processes for Purification - The identification and characterization of an organic compound such as molecular formula etc., must have the compound available in pure form. The process of obtaining the compound in its purest form from an impure sample..

Study of the compounds of carbon is organic chemistry. They form the basis of living organisms and the things around us. An unique property of carbon is 'catenation'. It is the property of forming bonds with the atoms of the same element. The catenation property of ..

Organic compounds are isolated either from natural sources or from reaction mixtures. These compounds are seldom pure and are usually contaminated with small amounts of other similar compounds, which are found to exist together or formed during the reaction. ..

The scientific grouping of organisms has some specific advantages. It makes the study of living organisms convenient. It helps in the specific identification of any given organism. The study of a few representatives from each distinct group hel..
