  Atomic Theory ** In this lesson , we will explain atomic Theory especially, Dalton’s atomic theory.   ** In the fifth century b.c., the Greek philosopher Democritus expressed the belief that all matter consists of very small, indivisible particles. he named atomos (meaning uncuttable or indivisible). ** Although Democritus’ idea was …

  Functional Groups ** Carbon combines with other atoms (e.g., H, N, O, S, halogens) to form structural units called functional groups. ** Functional groups are important for three reasons. First, they are the units by which we divide organic compounds into classes. Second, they are sites of characteristic chemical …
