Functional Group Chemistry in High School
Functional Group Chemistry in High SchoolFunctional group chemistry is a big deal for any high school science course. It takes various groups of molecules and puts them in various configurations so that they can perform specific functions, which you can find out by consulting a book or using the internet.Some groups of molecules are a lot more common than others, and there is a big difference between all of these groups. The most common ones are the alcohols, alkaloids, and bases. There are also many other groups of molecules that are found, but we aren't going to talk about those. We will talk about what's common among them.Functional group chemistry uses molecular diagrams to help you understand how these different types of molecules work together. Molecules are usually put into one of two basic forms. The hydrogen atoms can be arranged into a ring or can be arranged in a chain, depending on what their function is.Compounds that can have a positive charge have two groups of carbon atoms with hydrogen attached, and compounds that can have a negative charge have two groups of carbon atoms with hydrogen attached. Molecules are then put into various configurations by attaching a bonding group to the bond. These bond forming groups are also called reactants, and the groups of atoms that are part of the bonds are called acceptors.We have to remember that just because the groups are bonded doesn't mean that they have to react. You can have solids and liquids, and these two types can react with each other, or they can be an inert gas. But generally, the more surfaces that have chemicals in them, the more easily they are able to react. Thus, we see different reactions when a molecule is put into different configurations.Groups of molecules also come together to form different compounds, which you can also put into different configurations. You can find the simplest compounds, which consist of a single molecule. But these simple compounds are often quite unstable, and when put under high pressure, the reactions can happen quite quickly.Solids are the reactants, and liquids are the acceptors. The receptors are usually solids, and solids are liquids. There are other groupings of molecules, but we will not talk about those for now.
