Briefly describe the structure of the Acetic Acid with ball and stick structure.

1 answer

The ball and stick model of acetic acid consists of two carbon atoms bonded together by a single bond, with one carbon atom attached to a hydroxyl group and the other carbon atom attached to a carbonyl group. The carbonyl group is double bonded to an oxygen atom, which is also bonded to a hydrogen atom. The structure is represented by balls to represent atoms and sticks to represent bonds.
