The Functional Groups

A functional group is an atom or group of atoms within a molecule which is responsible for the characteristic properties and reactions of that molecule. Compounds with the same functional group form a homologous series. In the names of organic compounds, functional groups are denoted by prefixes and suffixes which precede or follow the root of the compound’s name.

Examples of Nomenclature of Organic Compounds

Cyclic compounds are identified by the prefix cyclo-. For example, cyclohexane is a cyclic alkane.
