Nomenclature of Functional Groups
Students will name organic compounds containing common functional groups (alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids).
Key Questions
- Apply IUPAC rules to name organic compounds containing various functional groups.
- Construct the structural formula of an organic compound given its IUPAC name, including functional groups.
- Explain how the presence of a functional group dictates the characteristic reactions of an organic molecule.
