Answer and explanation:

The attached figure shows five different structures for the chemical formula C4H5O5, but only one of these structures represent the malic acid.

Malic acid is a dicarboxylic acid, this means malic acid has two

-COOH groups.  Also, malic acid is a secundary alcohol, which means it has a  R2-C-OH group.

-Structure A has two carboxylic groups, but it doesn´t have a secundary alcohol.

-Structure B doesn´t have any caborxylic group.

-Structure C has two carboxylic groups and  it is a secundary alcohol. Structure C is the Malic acid

Answer:

Group 1 (or IA)

Explanation:

If element X is a halogen, then it belongs to the group 17 (or VIIA, under a different notation).

For each extra unit of atomic number, the group number increases by 1. That means that the X+1 element would belong to the group 18 (or VIIIA). <em>The X+2 element would thus belong in the group 1 </em>(or IA) one period higher (higher as in numeric value, not as in position in the periodic table).
