Functional Groups ~ What is the Family Name?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

These 37 slides start with definitions of six types of functional groups, their molecular structure, and multiple examples or each. During the rest of the presentation, organic chemistry learners are given an opportunity to practice identifying compounds based on molecular diagrams. This is an ideal way to begin the study of functional groups with your class.
