Carbon group. The carbon group is a periodic table group consisting of carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), lead (Pb), and flerovium (Fl). In modern IUPAC notation, it is called Group 14. In the field of semiconductor physics, it is still universally called Group IV.
The first carbon after the carbon that attaches to the functional group is called the alpha carbon. Functional groups are attached to the carbon backbone of organic molecules. They determine the characteristics and chemical reactivity of molecules.n Amide is one of two kinds of compounds: An Amino is represented by both an NH 2 and a Carboxyl (COOH). 1  a carbonyl group (C=O) linked to a nitrogen atom (N), or a compound that contains this functional group; or. 2  a particular kind of nitrogen anion.
