Most organic acids can be represented as RCOOH, in which COOH is the carboxyl group and R is the rest of the molecule. (For exam
ple, R is CH3 in acetic acid, CH3COOH.) (a) Draw the Lewis structure of acetic acid. draw structure ... (b) Upon ionization, the carboxyl group is converted to the carboxylate group, COO−. Draw the Lewis structure for one of the two resonance structures of the acetate anion. (The acetate anion is the ionized form of acetic acid). draw structure ...

Answer:
See explaination
Explanation:
Lewis structures, which is also called electron-dot structures or electron-dot diagrams, are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule. A Lewis structure can be drawn for any covalently-bonded molecule, as well as coordination compounds.
Check attachment for the structures.

Answer:
Explanation:
Hello,
The six-carbon benzene ring contains two types of bonds: C-C and C-H bonds, that are -hybridized σ bonds, and the six π bonds that form the aromatic ring. The σ bonds form from one
orbital and two
orbitals from each carbon, which then bond the carbon to the two carbons on either side and the carbon's single hydrogen. The remaining
orbital from each carbon atom sticks out above and below the plane of the ring; these
orbitals overlap sideways, rather than lengthwise, to form the aromatic π bond system.
Best regards.
