The given compound is a
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,
The compounds that contain carboxyl functional group are known as carboxylic acids.
(b)
Interpretation:
The given compound is a carboxylic acid or not has to be indicated.
