The image depicts the Lewis structure of an acetate ion. The structure shows a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to another oxygen atom carrying a negative charge. This forms a carboxylate group. The ion is often found in solutions of acetic acid and is an important intermediate in many biological and chemical processes.
