R—H --------> R—G -H and +G Each organic molecule consist of two parts i.e. R and G. The first part, i.e. R denotes the carbon -hydrogen framework of the … [Read more...] about Functional Or Characteristic Group

Nomenclature of Different Classes of Organic Compounds
Compounds of carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. These are further divided into two classes: saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon. 1) Saturated hydrocarbons- alkanes Hydrocarbons in which all the carbon atoms are linked to one another by only single bonds are called saturated hydrocarbons. These ma be either acyclic or cyclic hydrocarbons. Saturated … [Read more...] about Nomenclature of Different Classes of Organic Compounds
