Overview

Functional Groups are collections of atoms within a molecule that have a characteristic chemical behavior and are responsible for many of the properties of the molecule. They are important in understanding the reactivity of a molecule and the effects of functional groups on the properties of the molecule. Functional groups can consist of single atoms (such as fluorine in an alcohol) or multiple atoms (such as a methyl group or an amide in an ester). They are essential for scientists and engineers to understand how molecules work, as they determine the reactivity of molecules and thereby determine the products of chemical reactions. They are also necessary for pharmaceutical and other industries when designing and synthesizing molecules.
