Functional Groups [ENDORSED]

[204635822]

Are we responsible for knowing all functional groups on page 46, or just the ones we talked about during lecture?

[Jasminemay Barcelon 2G]

I believe we do since we covered most of the functional groups within that chart in the course reader and we discussed them in lecture and sections, but if we aren't responsible for them, it doesn't hurt to know them.

[Ryan Cerny 3I]

Are we expected to be able to name compounds with multiple functional groups?

[Joyce Zhang 2D]

No, Dr. Lavelle said in lecture we won't be covering multiple functional groups, but a functional group may be paired up with substituents.

For the amine functional groups, where N is bonded to one or more carbon chains, when N is bonded to four carbon chains it has a charge of 1+. When Nitrogen is bonded to three carbon chains it has no charge. In general, how do we know how many bonds it takes for an atom to have no charge? Thank you!

Calculate the formal charge: FC = V - (L + S/2)

I did this in class again in Chem 14B to remind students that one can use formal charge to figure this out.

@Ryan, Dr. Lavelle said we won't be covering multiple functional groups until 14C/CL/D.

[Caleb Lim 2M]

When and where will we be required to know the charge of a substituent? Does it have to do with it being a nucleophile or ellectrophile? (why would we need to know the formal charge)
