karboksüülühenditeni
Karboksüülühenditeni is a term that refers to compounds containing a carboxyl group. A carboxyl group is a functional group with the formula COOH, consisting of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to a hydroxyl group. This structure gives carboxylic acids their characteristic acidic properties.
Carboxylic acids are a fundamental class of organic compounds. They can be found naturally in many foods,
The properties of carboxylic acids vary depending on the length and structure of the carbon chain attached
The acidity of carboxylic acids stems from the ability of the carboxyl group to donate a proton
Common examples of carboxylic acids include formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, and benzoic acid. Their
