The given diagrams shows the arrangement of valence electrons in organic compound Q, having molecular formula `X_(2)YZ_(2)`.

What could be the compound Q?

A

Methanol

B

Ethanol

C

Methanoic acid

D

Ethanoic acid

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

From the given diagram,
Valence electrons in X = 1
Valence electrons in Z = 6
Valence in Y = 4
Thus, X is hydrogen (H).
Y is carbon (c).
Z is oxygen (O).

Thus, Q is HCOOH.
