Grade 12 Chemistry – Organic Chemistry – Exploration: Identifying Functional Groups
Exploring the Building Blocks of Organic Chemistry!
Grade 12 students dived into the fascinating world of organic chemistry with a hands-on investigation into functional groups, the very keys to unlocking how organic compounds behave.
Equipped with sharp observation skills and classic chemical testing techniques, they set out to uncover the unique “fingerprints” of various organic molecules. From identifying physical traits to observing chemical reactions, each test provided them with exciting clues about a compound’s structure and reactivity.
This engaging experiment not only enhanced their conceptual grasp but also demonstrated the central role of functional groups in classifying compounds and predicting their behavior. Students discovered that while each testing method reveals something different, together they paint a complete picture of a molecule’s personality!
