Answer
Carboxylic acids are classified according to the presence of number of carboxyl groups into mono-, di-, tri- and polycarboxylic acids.
- Monocarboxylic acids : These carboxylic acids contain one carboxyl group.
Example :
- Dicarboxylic acids : These contain two carboxyl groups
Example :
- Tricarboxylic acid : These contain three carboxyl groups
