Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An organic compound that contains "-COOH" as the function group is known as carboxylic compound.

A carboxylic compound is an acid as it dissociates to give hydrogen ion.

          R-COOH \rightarrow R-COO^{-} + H^{+}

Whereas a compound with functional group "-OH" is known as alcohol.

And, a compound with general formula RCOOR' is known as an ester.

Thus, we can conclude that the R-COOH compound behaves as an acid.

eduard

Explanation:

A. Hydrogen bonding is present in CS2 but not in CO2.

B. CS2 has greater dipole moment than CO2 and thus the dipole-dipole forces in CS2 are stronger.

C. CS2 partly dissociates to form ions and CO2 does not. Therefore, ion-dipole interactions are present in CS2 but not in CO2.

D. The dispersion forces are greater in CS2 than in CO2.

Which term is de ned as the region in an atom where an electron is most likely to be located?
charle [14.2K]
Orbital
All atoms have the same number of electrons as protons. Negative electrons are attracted to the positive nucleus. This force of attraction keeps electrons constantly moving around the nucleus. The region where an electron is most likely to be found is called an orbital.
