Functional Groups and Naming
Functional groups play a pivotal role in organic chemistry, dictating the chemical properties and reactivity of organic compounds. Understanding their structures and nomenclature is essential for predicting compound behavior and facilitating communication within the scientific community. This introductory paragraph sets the stage for exploring the diverse array of functional groups and the systematic rules governing their naming conventions.
