Functional Group Chart
Functional Group Chart (Product Code: SCL-555/027) is a wall chart depicting various functional groups of organic chemistry. A functional group is the atom or small cluster of atoms – the hydroxyl group of an alcohol or the carboxyl group of an acid, for instance – that gives a whole family of compounds its typical reactions, so recognising it is one of the key skills in the subject. Chemistry teachers use the chart in lessons on nomenclature and organic reactions, and students use it as a quick reference during practicals. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, and belongs to the school chemistry lab equipment in India that the company offers for the organic chemistry syllabus.

Typical Use
Once students know that organic compounds fall into families, the next step is learning to spot the part of a molecule that defines each family. With the chart beside the board, a teacher can draw a structure, ask the class to find its functional group on the chart and then name the family it belongs to. The chart also supports IUPAC naming, because the suffix or prefix of a name depends on the principal functional group present. Many teachers keep it with their chemistry teaching kit for the organic unit so it can go up in any room where the topic is taught.
In the practical laboratory it becomes a working reference for identification experiments, where an unknown organic compound is tested for aldehyde, ketone or carboxylic acid groups with reagents such as 2,4-DNP, Tollens’ reagent, Fehling’s solution or sodium bicarbonate. Students can check on the chart which group a positive result points to before writing their conclusion. Display it away from the fume area and wash basins so the surface stays clean and readable.
Manufacturer

Frequently Asked Questions
Which functional groups appear on the chart?
The chart depicts various functional groups of organic compounds. For the exact list on the current print, please ask us through the contact page before you order.
Is it useful in the practical lab as well as the classroom?
Yes. Students can consult it during functional group tests, which helps them connect each positive result with the correct family of compounds.
Does it list the chemical test for each group?
That is not stated in the product details. We can check the artwork and let you know.
What are its dimensions and material?
They are not listed here. Ask us and we will confirm them with the quotation.
Can I order it together with the test reagents?
Yes. Add the chart and the reagents to the enquiry cart and we will send a single quotation.
What should a school include in a bulk or export enquiry?
The number of charts, the delivery address and any billing details your institution needs. We supply buyers in India and international markets.
