Carboxylic Acids: Carboxylic Acids are homogenous Series/ organic compounds containing the (CO2H) group. General Formula: CnH2n + 1 COOH Functional Group: Carboxylic Acids are not HydroCarbons, as they contain Oxygen in their Compounds. Hydro Carbonds are those organic compounds containing only Hydrogen and Carbon. Properties Of Carboxyic Acids: All of …

Macro Molecules: Macro Molecules, are large molecules, made by joining together of many small molecules. This process of joining together smaller units into a large macro molecule polymer is called polymerization. Monomer: Small molecules, that join together to form one large polymer molecules. There are two kinds of polymer: Synthetic …

Thermal energy always flows from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower temperature. Conduction: Conduction is the process of thermal energy transfer without any flow of the material medium Conduction occurs mostly from solid to solid due to molecular vibration. The particles at A absorbs heat energy …
