Classes Of Functional Groups
Organic Chemistry deals mostly with carbon and hydrogens, also called hydrocarbons, but those groups which replace hydrogen and bonds with carbon to give a characteristic nature, unique of their own, to the hydrocarbon they are attached to, are called functional groups. All the compounds belonging to a functional group undergo reactions in a similar pattern and are known to have similar physical and chemical properties.
Characteristics Of Functional Groups
In organic chemistry, we encounter a number of special substituent groups which are attached to the hydrocarbon backbone. These groups impart certain characteristics to the molecule of which it is a part of and thus, become the highlight of that particular molecule.
IUPAC Nomenclature
In Chemistry, IUPAC stands for International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry which suggested a systematic naming approach for the organic and inorganic compounds, as in the beginning stage of nomenclature one single chemical compound was named in many ways by which lead to confusion. The need for this approach aroused as the number of chemical compounds newly discovered were increasing (approximately 32 million compounds) and the basic concept of nomenclature i.e. the trivial nomenclature and the derived system of nomenclature failed to overcome the challenge. It is an important task to name a chemical compound systematically and unambiguously which reduces lots of confusion about the newly reported compounds.
![### Identification of Organic Compounds
**Question:**
Determine the name of the following compound:
**Compound Structure:**
- The structure features a four-membered cyclic ring with a double bond between two of the carbon atoms.
- Attached to one of the cyclic carbons is an amino group (NH₂) depicted as coming out of the ring (solid wedge) indicating a specific spatial configuration.
**Graph/Diagram Explanation:**
1. **Cyclic Ring:** The central feature is a four-membered ring, characteristic of a cyclobutene structure.
2. **Double Bond:** Present between two carbon atoms of the ring, denoted by a double horizontal line (=).
3. **Amino Group (NH₂):** Attached to a carbon atom in the ring, drawn with a solid wedge (indicating it is above the plane) and a dashed wedge indicating the hydrogen is below the plane.
**Answer Section:**
An input box provided for entering the name of the compound with a checkmark symbol for submitting the answer.

**Explanation:**
- The compound is a type of azetidine derivative due to the presence of a four-membered carbon ring with a double bond and an amino group.
- Proper naming will consider the location of the double bond and the amino substituent.
