(a)
Interpretation:
The number of oxygen atom that is present in
Concept Introduction:
Carbonyl groups are the one which contain a double bond between carbon and oxygen atom.
If a hydroxyl group is attached to a carbonyl group means it is known as carboxyl group. This can be represented as shown below,
(b)
Interpretation:
The minimum number of carbon atoms present in the ester has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Carbonyl groups are the one which contain a double bond between carbon and oxygen atom. Aldehydes and ketones possess this carbonyl functional group in it. The structural representation of a carbonyl group can be given as shown below,
If a hydroxyl group is attached to a carbonyl group means it is known as carboxyl group. This can be represented as shown below,
Carboxylic acid derivatives are the ones that are synthesized from or converted to a carboxylic acid. The generalized structural representation of carboxylic acid derivatives is shown below,
