Answer:

Functional group

Explanation:

Functional group is specific group of atom or bond associated to an organic compound that determines the chemical properties of that compound. This atom is bonded in a certain way or specific arrangement to give the compound a peculiar physical and chemical characteristics.

Functional group like the alkyl group -CH3 is found in organic compound series like the alkane family. The chemical properties specific to the alkyl group will be active in the compound of alkane family because of the presence of the functional group Alkyl(-CH3).  The functional group also plays a major role in the chemical  reactivity of the compound. For example the functional group of alkyl  are often non reactive, this non reactive nature will definitely rub off on the chemical properties of the compound it is attached.

Functional group like -OH is usually found in Alcohol . Due to the presence of this functional group (-OH) alcohol possess a peculiar chemical properties. The compounds possess an hydrogen bond which invariably lead to the higher boiling points of the alcohol compounds.  Other functional group can be bonds like double bond found in alkene compound or triple  bond found in alkyne compound.

2. How does the way elements are grouped in the periodic table serve as an advantage to scientists?
Goryan [66]
When looking down the groups the elements have an equal number of electrons in the outer shell. This means they react in a similar way making it easier for scientists to use.

Who was the first to propose the idea of atoms?
VMariaS [17]

Answer::Democritus

Explanation

The idea that all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles, or atoms, is believed to have originated with the Greek philosopher Leucippus of Miletus and his student Democritus of Abdera in the 5th century B.C. (The word atom comes from the Greek word atomos, which means “indivisible.”) These thinkers held that,
