What functional group is highly polar and acts as a weak acid?
Alcohol
What is the functional group of formic acid?
It's the carboxylic acid functional group (COOH).
The functional group in acetic acid is called the?
The functional group in an organic acid is -COOH.
Is the SH functional group polar?
The thiol group is on arginine, which is a polar amino acid, but the electronegative difference between sulfur and hydrogen is negligible. To be on the safe side and in conformation with your teacher say it is polar, but put in that electronegativity qualifier.
What is --COOH?
It is a carboxyl functional group, consisting of a carbonyl and hydroxyl group. It is an ACID [moiety].

Is it true that an Amino functional group is -NH2 but amino acid list it as -NH3 does it matter how many hydrogen atom exists to be a functional group?
The amine group is NH2. But to form an anino acid you also need to have a COOH group. An amino acid contains the highly nucleophilic Nitrogen lone pair. In acid conditions the NH3 is formed from the dissociation of the acid functional group coordinated onto the Nitrogen forming a zwitter ion. HOOCRNH2 +H2O <---> -OOCRNH2 + H3O+ <---> -OOCRNH3+ + H2O
What functional group is aspirin?
There are two functional groups: 1. Carboxyl group 2. Ester group
Which is more polar cholesterol or cholesteryl acetate?
As you can see here this is the equation of acetic and stearic acid.it shows how they are different from each other. This is because acetic acid reacts much more exp[losively with water.
What causes a difference in amino acids?
The R groups of amino acids cause the difference in amino acid. The R group is joined at the alpha carbon of amino acid. There are four group joined at one carbon, viz. an acid group --COOH, and an amino group --NH3, one hydrogen and a functional group (R group). Except R group all the groups are same in every amino acid. So on the basis of R group i.e., functional group, there occur differences EITHER it is polar or non-polar nature OR acidity or basicty.
What functional group does lactic acid belong?
Carboxylic acid
What is the functional group of Glutamic acid?
Carboxyl and amino group
Which functional group does Abscisic acid have?
carboxyl
