    Study Notes

    Nitro Compounds

    • Nitro compounds are organic compounds containing the nitro group (-NO₂).
    • Examples include nitromethane (CH₃NO₂), nitroethane (CH₃CH₂NO₂), and nitropropane (CH₃CH₂CH₂NO₂).
    • The prefix "nitro-" is used to indicate the presence of a nitro group.

    Sulphonic Acids

    • Sulphonic acids are organic compounds containing the sulphonic acid group (-SO₃H).
    • Examples include methanesulphonic acid (CH₃SO₃H), ethanesulphonic acid (CH₃CH₂SO₃H), and propanesulphonic acid (CH₃CH₂CH₂SO₃H).
    • A characteristic functional group is -SO₃H.

    Additional Information

    • Acid anhydride is a topic not directly related to nitro or sulphonic acids. More information on this topic would require additional context.
