Question

True or false

The carboxyl group has the same properties as alcohols and aldehydes.
Carboxylic acids have lesser hydrogen bonds relative to aldehydes.
Carboxylic acids are carbonyl compounds.

Definition Definition Organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C=O, as their functional group. The carbonyl group in aldehydes is placed at the end of the molecular structure, which means the C=O is attached to one hydrogen atom and an alkyl group or a benzene ring. Just like all the other homologous series in organic chemistry, the naming of aldehydes uses the suffix “-al”. The general molecular formula is C n H 2n O.
