What is the functional group of carboxylic acids?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Carboxyl group

The governing concept is that a functional group is the atom or group of atoms responsible for the characteristic chemical behaviour of an organic compound. Carboxylic acids contain the –COOH group, called the carboxyl group. It combines a carbonyl group (C=O) with a hydroxyl group (–OH), but the complete –COOH group gives the acid its identity. Therefore option A is correct; hydroxyl alone represents alcohols, while a double bond or halogen is not the defining group here.
