How to Understand Organic Functional Groups
Organic functional groups are central to every reaction. The Functional Groups Simplified video below shows you how to determine what each group will do in every reaction. In addition, I will show you how your functional groups can be easily simplified into nucleophiles or electrophiles.
Carbocation Stability and Electronegativity
You will learn how to use carbocation stability and electronegativity to know how your functional group will react. By knowing how a specific functional groups reacts, it makes it much easier identify the nucleophile and electrophile of each reaction.
Test Out The Other Functional Groups
Now that you have seen how easy this can be, test out this technique for yourself. Simply look through the chapter you are working on in class or flip through your book to see how this works.
