Answer 9

Charged, ionizes to release H+
Acidic
Branched structure

Question 10

Carboxyl groups are able to release H+ ions when they are put into a solution. This characteristic of this charged functional also classifies it as what?

Answer 10

Acidic

Question 11

Carboxyl

Answer 11

Charged, ionized to release H+. Since carboxyl groups can release H+ ions into a solution, they are considered acidic.

Characterized by central C bound to O and OH
