11. Functional Group
An Atom or Group of atoms joined in a specific manner
which are responsible for the characteristic chemical
properties of the organic compounds
Homologous series
A group or a series of organic compounds each
containing a characteristic functional group
forms a homologous series .The successive members
differ from each other in molecular formula by a –CH2
unit.
