Functional Groups Alcohols Halides

-Organic compounds can contain elements other than C and H
     -These are known as functional groups
-Carbon chains without functional groups are written as -R

Alcohols
-An alcohol is a hydrocarbon with a -OH bonded to it
-Same naming rules apply but the parent chain ends with and -ol
-If a compound has more than one -OH group number add -diol,triol, etc endings
EXAMPLE


Halides
-Group 7 elements (F,Cl,Br,I) can bond to a hydrocarbon chain
-Naming follows standard rules with halides using floro chloro bromo and iodo
