Question

true or false: functional groups are sets of atoms that are ionically bonded to the carbon framework.
true
false

Explanation:

Functional groups in organic chemistry are sets of atoms that are covalently (not ionically) bonded to the carbon framework. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons (forming ions), while functional groups form covalent bonds (sharing electrons) with the carbon chain. So the statement is false.

Answer:

False
