Key Points: Nomenclature and Structure of Carboxyl Group

  • Carboxylic Acids: Organic compounds with –COOH (carboxyl) functional group.
  • IUPAC: Replace 'e' of alkane with 'oic acid' (e.g., HCOOH = Methanoic acid; CH₃COOH = Ethanoic acid).
  • Carboxyl group = Carbonyl + Hydroxyl. Carbon is sp² hybridised.
  • The conjugate base RCOO⁻ is resonance stabilised → makes carboxylic acid weakly acidic.
