carboxyl group. in organic chemistry, group of atoms within a molecule that is responsible for certain properties of the molecule and reactions in which it takes part. Organic compounds are frequently classified according to the functional group or groups they contain.
Carboxylic acids contain a-COOH group. Carboxylic acids are compounds which contain a-COOH group. For the purposes of this page we shall just look at compounds where the-COOH group is attached either to a hydrogen atom or to an alkyl group. INTRODUCING CARBOXYLIC ACIDS. This page explains what carboxylic acids are, and looks at the ions that they form in their salts. It also considers their simple physical properties such as solubility and boiling points.
