Hydrocarbon Derivatives
Carbon will bond to other atoms other than itself and Hydrogen. It can also create double and triple bonds between other organic compounds such as alcohols, haloalkanes, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, ethers, amines and amides. Below is a table containing organic compounds and their functional groups.
The chemistry of an organic molecule, regardless of size and complexity, is largely determined by the functional groups it contains.
