Functional Group β definition?
Specific atoms/groups dictating reactivity.
Alkanes vs Alkenes β difference?
Alkanes are saturated; alkenes have double bonds.
Aldehydes vs Ketones β distinction?
Aldehydes have terminal carbonyl; ketones have internal.
Functional Group β definition?
Atoms/groups responsible for reactivity.
Hydroxyl Group (-OH) β role?
Found in alcohols, polar, hydrogen bonding.
Carbonyl Group (C=O) β importance?
In aldehydes and ketones, key in reactions.
