Carboxylic acid group does not give the ...

Carboxylic acid group does not give the usual addition and elimination reactions of aldehydes and ketones because

A

O-H bond is more polar than `""_("/")^("\")C=O` group

B

carboxylate ion gets ionised

C

carboxylate ion gets stabilised by resonance

D

it exists as-COOH and there is no carbonyl group

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Due to resonance in carboxylate ion, the double bond character of C=O bond in carboxylic acids is greatly reduced as compared to that in aldehydes and ketones.

Carboxylic acids do not give the.characteristic reactions of carbonyl group. Explain.

Assertion : Carboxylic acids contain a carbonyl group but do not give characteristic reaction of the carbonyl group. Reason : The electrophilicity of the carbonyl carbon is more in carbocylic acids than in aldehydes and ketones.

Which of the following statements regarding carbonyl group is not correct?
