GROUPS OF
CARBON
-NIKIIL.V
HALOGEN Interaction between two objects that causes
a change in the motion of the objects.

Haloalkanes, or alkyl halides, are the

functional groups which contain a bond
between a carbon atom and a halogen.
The prefix used to denote a halogen is
‘halo-’. For example, the compound
CH3F can be called fluoromethane, and
the prefix here is fluoro.
Alcohols are some of the most important
molecules in organic chemistry. They can be
prepared from and converted into many different
types of compounds. Alcohols contain the
hydroxy functional group (-OH), bonded to a
carbon atom of an alkyl or substituted alkyl
group. The functional group of an alcohol is the
hydroxyl group, –OH. Unlike the alkyl halides, this
group has two reactive covalent bonds, the C–O
bond and the O–H bond

ALCHOHOL
CARBOXYLIC ACID
Carboxylic acid, any of a class of organic
compounds in which a carbon (C) atom is
bonded to an oxygen (O) atom by a double
bond and to a hydroxyl group (―OH) by a
single bond.
ALDEHYDES & KETONES
Aldehydes and ketones are organic compounds which
incorporate a carbonyl functional group, C=O. The carbon
atom of this group has two remaining bonds that may be
occupied by hydrogen, alkyl or aryl substituents. If at
least one of these substituents is hydrogen, the
compound is an aldehyde. If neither is hydrogen, the
compound is a ketone.
