Question

Functional groups confer specific chemical properties to the molecules of which they are a part. In this activity, you will identify which compounds exhibit certain chemical properties as well as examples of those six different compounds. Drag one molecule and one chemical property to each bin. If one property can apply to more than one functional group, choose the best answer for each functional group.
