Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Question

The question asks which term refers to arrangements of atoms that give organic molecules their unique properties.

Step 2: Analyze the Options
  • Chain groups: Typically refers to linear arrangements of atoms, not specifically related to unique properties.
  • Functional groups: Specific groups of atoms within molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules.
  • Backbone groups: Usually refers to the main chain of atoms in a molecule, not specifically related to unique properties.
  • Accessory groups: Not a standard term in organic chemistry.
Step 3: Identify the Correct Term

Functional groups are known for giving organic molecules their unique properties due to their specific chemical reactivity.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{Functional groups}}\)

To simulate the night sky, we will be using the software Stellarium, which is free and easy to download/install. Go to the following link: https://stellarium.org/ and click on the platform you're using (Windows/Mac/Linux etc.) to install Stellarium. If you want to use the web version of Stellarium, consult the pdf document "How to Navigate in Stellarium-Web" in the sub-module. After you install and open Stellarium, you'll immediately find yourself with a view of the sky as seen from a field at the date time of your class. Stellarium sets the starting location to be Paris, France, so you'll need to change the starting location to NYC. If you move the mouse around the screen, you'll find two menu bars, one on the lower-left hand side of the screen, and another on the bottom of the screen. On the left-hand side menu, scroll over the options until you find the location option. Click on this a pop-up window appears with a world map. A red arrow shows your location as well as your latitude longitude. On the right hand side of the world map is a list of locations in Stellarium. Type New York into the search box a list of locations in New York state will appear in the list. Click on New York (sometimes it reads New York City, NY). Make sure the arrow changes position on the world map. Write down the numbers in the 'Latitude' and 'Longitude' boxes for your location (NYC). To make things easier to see near the horizon, you'll want to switch the landscape to get rid of the houses and trees that show up by default. To do this, move the mouse to the left-hand side menu and select "Sky and Viewing Options" In the window that
