Asked by Ian

I have a diagram that I have to identify for homework. The structure shows an "R" connected with single bond to carbon(in the middle)-which in turn is connected to OH with single bond.-The carbon in the middle has a double bond with Oxygen on the top. The possible answers are carboxylic acid, alcohol, alkane or amine.

Thank you

I think you have described a carboxylic acid. Does it look this way?
RCOOH but the middle O has a double bond to C. Let me try to find a diagram on the internet and I'll post that.
