Identify the definition of a functional group in organic chemistry: A functional group is a specific group of atoms within a molecule that is responsible for a characteristic chemical reaction of that molecule.
List common functional groups in organic chemistry: Examples include hydroxyl (-OH), carboxyl (-COOH), amino (-NH2), and others.
Examine each option provided in the problem: Carboxyl group, Hydroxyl group, Nucleic acid, and Amino group.
Determine whether each option is a functional group: Carboxyl, Hydroxyl, and Amino groups are functional groups, while Nucleic acids are large biomolecules, not functional groups.
Conclude that the option which is not a functional group is 'Nucleic acid', as it is a type of biomolecule rather than a functional group.
