Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ball-and-stick model shows that the compound has a carbonyl group, which is a polar group that can participate in hydrogen bonding with water. The model does not show any tetrahedral geometry at the carbonyl carbon, and it is not clear from the model whether the given compound or the corresponding acid has a higher boiling point.
