Question

write the formulation for the functional groups of alcohol and carboxylic acids

Answer 1

Atom or groups of different atoms that make the organic substances reactive are called functional groups. If the organic compound belongs to the alcohol group, the OH functional group is attached to the carbon atoms. Carboxylic acid group is denoted by the COOH functional group.

Answer 2

Atom or groups of different atoms that make the organic substances reactive are called functional groups.

• If the organic compound belongs to the alcohol group, the OH functional group is attached to the carbon atoms.
• Due to the presence of an -OH group, alcohols can hydrogen bond. This leads to higher boiling points compared to their parent alkanes.
• Any of a class of organic compounds containing a carboxyl functional group—carbon with a double bond to an oxygen and a single bond to another oxygen, which is in turn bonded to a hydrogen.
• The carboxylic acid group is denoted by the COOH functional group
