Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structural formula for a carboxylic acid with the molecular formula C2H4O2 is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The replacement of the hydrogen by other functional groups in the chemical formula for alkanes gives different compounds. These functional groups have a particular set of atom. Attaching the functional groups to the alkane changes the properties of alkanes. Each functional group has a set of certain properties possessed by all the compounds having that functional group.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structural formula for an alcohol with the molecular formula C5H10O is to be drawn.
