1.

a) Write molecular and structural formulae of an organic compound having two carbon atoms with a Carboxylic acid as a func onal group.

Answer»

Answer:

Carboxylic ACID, any of a class of organic compounds in which a carbon (C) atom is bonded to an oxygen (O) atom by a double bond and to a hydroxyl GROUP (―OH) by a single bond. A FOURTH bond links the carbon atom to a HYDROGEN (H) atom or to some other univalent combining group. The carboxyl (COOH) group is so-named because of the carbonyl group (C=O) and hydroxyl group.
