Lesson Explainer: Properties of Carboxylic Acids carboxylic acid A carboxylic acid can be thought of as a combination between two functional groups: an alcohol group, involving a hydrogen bound to an oxygen, which attaches to polylactic acid Carboxylic acids have higher melting and boiling points than similar alkanes and aldehydes due to the presence of hydrogen bonds between molecules These
