Concept introduction:
A carbonyl group has a carbon atom that is connected to an oxygen atom through a double bond and single bonded to two other carbon atoms respectively.
•
• The alcohols contain hydroxyl
• The carboxylic acids contain carboxylic
Answer to Problem 15.1E
The structure of carboxylic acid functional group is shown below.
The structure of carboxylic acid functional group is different from alcohols, aldehydes or ketones because it possesses both carbonyl group and hydroxyl group. On the other hand, alcohols has only hydroxyl group and aldehydes or ketones contain only carbonyl group in their structures.
Explanation of Solution
The carboxylic acid functional group has a carbon atom bonded to an oxygen atom by a double bond and bonded to a hydroxyl group
Figure 1
Aldehydes and ketones contain carbonyl functional group in their parent chain. The structural formula of an aldehyde is
The structure of carboxylic acid functional group is different from both aldehydes and ketones because it has hydroxyl group in addition to the carbonyl group.
The alcohols contain only hydroxyl
Figure 2
The carboxylic acid functional group structure is shown in Figure 1.
The difference in the structure of carboxylic acid from the structures of an alcohol, an aldehyde or a ketone is rightfully stated.
