Question

Carboxylic acid have both carbonyl group and hydroxy group but dont show properties of carbonyl group

Answer 1

Answer:

Aldehydes and ketones are first and second oxidative products of primary and secondary alcohols respectively. The contain carbonyl group as a functional group.

Carboxylic acids contain carboxyl group as a functional group, which is combination of carbonyl and hydroxyl group.Whereas esters are Alkyl derivatives of carboxylic acids. Esters contain alkoxy carbonyl group as a functional group. This is combination of carbonyl and alkoxy group.

Thus functional groups in carboxylic acid and esters are derivatives of carbonyl group.
