Question

in addition to carbon, organic molecules often have side groups like an alcohol group, an amine group, etc. the importance of these is?

Answer 1

The side groups like amine, alcohol and acyl group improve the specific properties in addition to the organic molecules.

The side groups like amine, alcohol etc are called the functional groups which improves the specific properties and also improves the reactivity of molecule and thus increase the chemical properties making them more stable and versatile. And the most important part of the functional groups is that they have same chemical properties even if they react with different carbon i.e., organic molecules.Organic compounds are only classified on the basis of the functional groups present in them. The atoms of the functional groups and the carbon are connected by the covalent bonds and the best functional group is carboxylic acid which have a carbon atom double bond to oxygen along with single bound OH atoms. The physical properties are also affected by the nature of the groups present in it.
