It explains the structural components of a carbonyl group and carboxy group, and identifies common and formal names for various carboxylic acids, such as acetic and benzoic acid. The process of esterification and naming esters is also discussed. The page includes practice questions that challenge students to name molecules based on structural information and to apply naming conventions effectively.
