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.
