The distinctive arrangements of atoms that impart characteristic chemical properties to the molecules that contain them are called
A)monomers.
B)functional groups.
C)radicals.
D)transition states.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Functional groups are specific arrangements of atoms or bonds within molecules that confer specific chemical properties to those molecules. Different functional groups have specific reactivities and can participate in specific chemical reactions. Monomers are the subunits that make up molecules, radicals are atoms or molecules with unpaired electrons, and transition states are intermediate structures that occur during chemical reactions. None of these options accurately describe the definition provided.
