Examples of functional group in the following topics:
-
- Functional groups are atoms or small groups of atoms (two to four) that exhibit a characteristic reactivity when treated with certain reagents.
- A particular functional group will almost always display its characteristic chemical behavior when it is present in a compound.
- Because of their importance in understanding organic chemistry, functional groups have characteristic names that often carry over in the naming of individual compounds incorporating specific groups.
- In the following table the atoms of each functional group are colored red and the characteristic IUPAC nomenclature suffix that denotes some (but not all) functional groups is also colored.
-
- Functional groups also play an important part in organic compound nomenclature; combining the names of the functional groups with the names of the parent alkanes provides a way to distinguish compounds.
- Functional groups play a significant role in directing and controlling organic reactions.
- Functionalization refers to the addition of functional groups to a compound by chemical synthesis.
- Alcohols are a common functional group (-OH).
- Define the term "functional group" as it applies to organic molecules
-
- Functional groups are atoms or small groups of atoms (usually two to four) that exhibit a characteristic reactivity when treated with certain reagents.
- A particular functional group will almost always display its characteristic chemical behavior when it is present in a compound.
- Because of this, the discussion of organic reactions is often organized according to functional groups.
- The following table summarizes the general chemical behavior of the common functional groups.
- For reference, the alkanes provide a background of behavior in the absence of more localized functional groups.
-
- Functional groups are groups of molecules attached to organic molecules and give them specific identities or functions.
- Functional groups are groups of atoms that occur within organic molecules and confer specific chemical properties to those molecules.
- When functional groups are shown, the organic molecule is sometimes denoted as "R."
- A functional group can participate in specific chemical reactions.
- Some of the important functional groups in biological molecules include: hydroxyl, methyl, carbonyl, carboxyl, amino, phosphate, and sulfhydryl groups.
-
- Other functional group combinations with the carbonyl group can be prepared from carboxylic acids, and are usually treated as related derivatives.
- Although nitriles do not have a carbonyl group, they are included here because the functional carbon atoms all have the same oxidation state.
- Functional groups of this kind are found in many kinds of natural products.
- Some examples are shown below with the functional group colored red.
- Penicillin G has two amide functions, one of which is a β-lactam.
-
- Specialization by skillset can be seen in functional departmentalization, grouping workers by the functions they perform.
- An automobile company is an example specialization of labor where engineers design cars in functional groups (i.e., research and development departament) and facilities distinct from the production line workers that actually produce the car at the plant.
- One can see specialization by skillset being used in functional departments, grouping activities by functions performed.
- This leads to operational efficiencies within that group.
- However, it could also lead to a lack of communication between the functional groups within an organization, making the organization slow and inflexible.
-
- An organization with a functional structure is divided based on functional areas, such as IT, finance, or marketing.
- In a functional structure, a common configuration, an organization is divided into smaller groups by areas of specialty (such as IT, finance, operations, and marketing).
- Functional departments arguably permit greater operational efficiency because employees with shared skills and knowledge are grouped together by functions performed.
- Each group of specialists can therefore operate independently with management acting as the point of cross-communication between functional areas.
- A disadvantage of this structure is that the different functional groups may not communicate with one another, potentially decreasing flexibility and innovation.
-
- Secondary groups are large groups whose relationships are impersonal and goal oriented; their relationships are temporary.
- Unlike first groups, secondary groups are large groups whose relationships are impersonal and goal oriented.
- He labeled groups as "primary" because people often experience such groups early in their life and such groups play an important role in the development of personal identity.
- Since secondary groups are established to perform functions, people's roles are more interchangeable.
- Primary groups can form within secondary groups as relationships become more personal and close.
-
- A primary group is typically a small social group whose members share close, personal, enduring relationships.
- A primary group is a group in which one exchanges implicit items, such as love, caring, concern, support, etc.
- Examples of these would be family groups, love relationships, crisis support groups, and church groups.
- A primary group is typically a small social group whose members share close, personal, enduring relationships.
- Examples of these would be family groups, love relationships, crisis support groups, and church groups.

- A Primary group is typically a small social group whose members share close, personal, enduring relationships.
- Secondary groups are large groups whose relationships are impersonal and goal-oriented.
- People in a secondary group interact on a less personal level than in a primary group.
- Since secondary groups are established to perform functions, people's roles are more interchangeable.
