Which picture best represents an atomic-level view of acetic acid, which is a weak acid, in aqueous solution (water molecules not shown)?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This picture shows the acetic acid molecule (CH3COOH) in its undissociated form, with hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms. In aqueous solution, some of the acetic acid molecules will dissociate to form H+ and acetate ions, but this picture shows the molecular level view of acetic acid in its weak acid form.
