Miss Moore introduces functional groups, focusing on halocarbons. She explains that halocarbons are hydrocarbon derivatives where hydrogen atoms are replaced by halogens. The video covers the properties of halocarbons, their lower boiling points, and their man-made nature. Miss Moore then provides a detailed guide on naming halocarbons, including identifying the parent chain and naming branches. The video concludes with practice examples to reinforce the naming process.
