Carboxylic acids are easily ionised. The main reason of this statement

A

Absence of `alpha` -hydrogen

B

Resonance stabilisation of carboxylate ion (

C

Reactivity of `alpha`- hydrogen

D

Hydrogen bond

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Carboxylic acids are easily ionized because there is resonance in carboxylate ion due to `pi` - electron shifting so `H^(+)` get ionised very easily.
