Functional Groups Functional Groups with Carbon Singly Bonded to an Electronegative Atom Example functional groups include alkyl halides (haloalkanes),alcohols, ethers,alkyl phosphates, amines,thiols,sulfides and disulfides C-O 。 Bonds are polar Alcohol Ether Phosphat Carbon bears a partial positive charge(+) Electronegative atom bears a partial negative charge() Amine Thiol Sulfide Disulfide Functional Groups with Carbon Singly Bonded to an Electronegative Atom Functional Groups Example functional groups include alkyl halides (haloalkanes), alcohols, ethers, alkyl phosphates, amines, thiols, sulfides and disulfides • Bonds are polar • Carbon bears a partial positive charge (d+) • Electronegative atom bears a partial negative charge (d-)
