Asetaattiionit
Asetaattiionit, also known as acetate ions, are polyatomic anions with the chemical formula CH3COO-. They are the conjugate base of acetic acid, a weak acid commonly found in vinegar. The acetate ion consists of a carboxyl group (-COO-) attached to a methyl group (-CH3). The negative charge is delocalized across the two oxygen atoms in the carboxyl group due to resonance, giving the ion significant stability.
Acetate ions are prevalent in many biological and chemical processes. They are involved in the metabolism of
