Answer to Question 1

A functional group is an atom (other than hydrogen) or small molecular group covalently bonded to a carbon atom of an organic compound.

Functional groups impart chemical properties such as acidity or polarity. The chemical behavior of the molecules of life arises mainly from the number, kind, and arrangement of their functional groups.
