TCE Chemistry — Level 4
Functional Groups — Flashcards & Quiz
Functional groups are the reactive sites of organic molecules, and TCE Chemistry Level 4 tests your ability to identify groups in a structure, predict reactivity, and apply IUPAC nomenclature. Recognising the hierarchy of functional groups (carboxylic acid > ester > amide > aldehyde > ketone > alcohol > amine) is essential for naming and reaction prediction.
Sample Flashcards
Q1: What is a functional group?
A specific atom or group that determines chemical properties. Same functional group = similar reactions regardless of chain length.
Sample Quiz Questions
