Functional Groups Indicative of Reactive Hazards
Monday, February 16th, 2009The presence of certain functional groups is considered an indicator of reactivity. This is the simplest possible reactivity screening method and serves as a guideline for further analysis. For example, chemicals containing the following functional groups can be considered potentially reactive: -NO2 : organic nitro compounds -O-O-, -O-OH : organic/inorganic peroxide and ...
