Functional Groups in Organic Compounds
Functional groups are specific groups of atoms that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of organic compounds. Some common functional groups include:
1. Carboxyl group: This functional group contains a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to a hydroxyl group (-COOH).
2. Carbonyl group: This functional group contains a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom (-C=O).
3. Hydroxyl group: This functional group contains an oxygen atom single-bonded to a hydrogen atom (-OH).
4. Amino group: This functional group contains a nitrogen atom single-bonded to two hydrogen atoms (-NH2).
5. Ester group: This functional group contains a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to an alkyl group (-COOR).
6. Isocyanide group: This functional group contains a carbon atom triple-bonded to a nitrogen atom (-C≡N).
Identifying the Non-Functional Group
Among the given options, only isocyanide (option A) is not a functional group. Isocyano (option B) is the functional group containing an isocyanide group attached to a carbon atom. Carboxyl (option C) and carbonyl (option D) are both functional groups commonly found in organic compounds.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A, isocyanide, which is not a functional group.
Organic compounds can be classified even based upon the function group...
Isocyanide is not a functional group .It is not exist .the correct one is isocyano.
Thus option A.
