==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Carboxylic Acid]]s are [[Organic Compound|organic compounds]] with a [[Carbon]] [[atom]] which has a [[Double Bond|double bonds]] to an [[Oxygen]] [[atom]] and a [[Single Bond|single bond]] to an OH group. The [[General Formula|general formula]] is C<sub>n</sub>H<sub>2n</sub>O<sub>2</sub>
===About Carboxylic Acids===
: [[Carboxylic Acid]]s are a [[Homologous Series|homologous series]] of [[Organic Compound|organic compounds]].
: The [[Functional Group|functional group]] of the [[Carboxylic Acid]]s is the [[Double Bond|double bond]] between a [[Carbon]] [[atom]] and an [[Oxygen]] [[atom]] and the [[Single Bond|single bond]] to an OH group.
: [[Carboxylic Acid]]s are long chains of [[Carbon]] [[atom]]s [[Covalent Bond|covalently bonded]] together with the the final [[Carbon]] [[atom]] in the chain as a COOH group.
